ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK



Alastair Mackie was born in North Cornwall in 1977 where he still resides. Mackie’s oeuvre reconciles the formal with the conceptual, in a generous body of works that challenges the deep-rooted separation between animal and human, and exposes the clichés still hampering our understanding of man’s relationship to the natural world.

​Mackie studied at Camberwell College of Art (1997) and City and Guilds London School (2000). He has exhibited extensively in the UK and internationally, notably including exhibitions at the David Roberts Art Foundation, London, the Venice Biennale, the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum, Braunschweig, Kunstmuseum Bochum, Museum Kunst der Westküste, Alkersum, Ambras Castle, Innsbruck, Weserburg Museum of Modern Art, Weserburg, The Wallace Collection, London, the Saatchi Gallery, London, the Torrance Art Museum, Los Angeles,  the Newlyn Art Gallery, Cornwall, The Eden Project, Cornwall, the Busan Museum of Modern Art, Kunsthalle Krems, Austria, Museum of Arts and Design, New York, the Gervasuti Foundation, Venice, the Ethnographic Museum, Dubrovnik and the Reykjavik Art Museum, Reykjavik. He has worked on a number of public commissions including Mimetes Anon, commissioned by the Contemporary Art Society for the Economist Plaza in St. James’, London in 2009. His work is held in collections including: The Olbricht Collection, Berlin, the Salsali Private Museum, Dubai, the Saatchi Collection, London, and the Wellcome Collection, London.
