Mackenzie Thorpe


I have never had an artist make my heart flutter quite like Mackenzie Thorpe. My favorite work of his is this bronze sculpture, which is really expensive. I dream to one day own one of his pieces, preferably this one! He not only makes sculptures, but paintings, and even a documentary. He spent some time with some Australian indigenous artist and they created some pretty amazing pieces together. Check out the preview: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0E-mkuXA_8c. Although I would love to watch the movie, I have not been able to find it anywhere. I first discovered Mackenzie in an art gallery called Off the Wall (http://offthewallgallery.com/gallery/categories/Mackenzie-Thorpe/?page=2&sort=featured) in the Galleria. They have other amazing artists, but non like Mackenzie. If you want to check out some of his other pieces of art work check out his web page. http://www.mackenziethorpe.net/.
