Description
William Mackendree (born 1948) Composition 1991 Oil on paper, signed and dated lower right 108 x 72 cm Condition report: Framed, glass missing. Loss of material, craquelure and warping. After studying philosophy and fine art, William Mackendree moved to Greece to teach at the Aegean Centre for Fine Arts and at Anatolia College. There he discovered archaic sculpture; from these statues he drew inspiration from their lines and simplicity. He subsequently developed a highly recognisable visual vocabulary, consisting of primary symbols and pictograms. His works are characterised by motifs, powerful lines and solid forms set against textured, material-rich backgrounds. These silhouettes appear as modern hieroglyphs, rendered in a minimalist style. In Paris, from 1985 onwards, he exhibited regularly whilst teaching painting and studio practices. His artistic world also extends into the urban space, as evidenced by the mural he created on the corner of Rue des Dames and Rue Biot, in the 17th arrondissement of Paris.
