Details: The Process of Editing a Vision

Artist, Steve McKenzie, in a rare move has consented to his first solo exhibition. Known for not releasing any work from his studio, McKenzie is excited about his public debut.

His method of creating is a process of exploration in the application of materials in combination with classical painting and drawing techniques. Upon completion of a work, McKenzie then reduces the work to small details of the original. These small details are then presented as individual works themselves.

“In the studio, I lose all track of the present and create abstractions that later when edited, I discover representations of reality. For me the reward in art-making is the process of creation. I find deep satisfaction in the final result as I look at it remembering how I got there; I hope others will share in this as well.”

McKenzie has painted for over 15 years. His studio is located outside of Atlanta, Georgia.
