About David Mackenzie
David Mackenzie was born in Los Angeles and received both his BFA and MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute, where he studied ceramics, sculpture and painting.
Although quite adept at each discipline, painting was his passion. His work in ceramics did come in quite handy throughout his career in painting, however, as his expertise in mixing glazes and knowledge of the various components led to interesting combinations in paint and other media. He did experiment with various painting styles throughout his career including watercolors, being one of the early adopters of the California "off the stretcher" style of painting in the early 70s, and in the later 80s veering toward a more strict and disciplined style, the constructed canvas, where his view of perspective and use of cord and other materials beneath the paints would create visual interest.
His work was included in the 1975 Whitney Biennial and has been shown in Italy, France, Germany, and Russia. He has received grants from the Pollack-Krasner Foundation and the National Endowment for the Arts.
David has work in the Phillips Collection, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Art in Embassies program, the Oakland Museum, and the Rene di Rosa Foundation among others.
He was a member of American Abstract Artists, an organization to promote abstract art since 1936.
"My work is a mediation between fractured and deconstructed perspectives. It is my way of coming to terms with painting's inherent contradictions of representation and the concrete. I have deliberately and radically reduced the elements in my work in order to clearly understand the painting's nature. Shifting perceptions, reflected light, color/material and location are what interest me along with spacial tension. My approach is strictly intuitive when it comes to these matters."
David Mackenzie died June 11, 2020. During his last decade, he worked in Joshua Tree, California. He is survived by his wife, Martha Mackey.

‘Opportunistic’: experts weigh Manila’s minilateral agenda ahead of Trump-Xi meeting
The Philippines’ dual push for stronger “minilateral” defence links and a more robust Asean security role is dividing analysts, with one calling the move “opportunistic”. Some experts view Manila’s advocacy for the “Squad” alliance as a strategic opportunity to deepen core security partnerships while chairing the Association of Southeast Asian Nations. Others question how much actual weight is carried by this informal defence grouping – comprising the United States, the Philippines, Japan and...

Europe considers new quotas and tariffs to stem Chinese imports
The European Union may hit more Chinese industries with quotas or tariffs before further negotiations with Beijing, the bloc’s trade chief said on Friday, naming plastics as a sector in which investigations are advanced. Maros Sefcovic said that when the bloc needs to move quickly to protect its industries, it will consider safeguards, which allow emergency measures to curb surges in imports, instead of engaging in longer negotiations. “We clearly will have to put it in order, prioritise, and...

The EU is its own worst enemy
Beijing has told Brussels not to “fantasise” that pressure will extract concessions. This came after China made a goodwill gesture in the recent hybrid-car trade deal. The European Union responded by doubling down on a proposed trade “kill switch”. The instrument follows a Franco-German proposal. It would let the bloc swiftly restrict single-market access in response to economic coercion. EU chief Ursula von der Leyen says all 27 leaders back it. Chemicals and machinery are priority sectors....
