Lucy McKenzie (born 1977 in Glasgow, lives and works in Brussels) gained international recognition with her illusionistic Trompe-l’œil paintings, where she blends the historical technique with contemporary, often political themes. She works in the expanded field of artistic practice, incorporating sculpture, painting, design, fashion, and architecture into her work and exhibitions. Her interest lies in the role of art and culture as a mirror of societal and political changes, not only within museums but also in the public sphere, advertising graphics, or political propaganda. A particular focus of her work is on the representation of women. In 2008, McKenzie co-founded Atelier E.B. with designers Beca Lipscombe and Bernie Reid, a company focused on fashion and design projects. She is also a curator and founder of a record label.
