Artist's Bio
Virginia MacKenny is an associate professor of painting at Michaelis School of Fine Art, University of Cape Town. A practicing artist, curator and critic, her research focus is on contemporary southern African art engaging environmental issues. Winner of the Volkskas Atelier (1991), her paintings re-examine the tradition of landscape painting in a time of environmental duress and socio-political uncertainty. A regular exhibitor, her last solo exhibition Strand/Shore (2021) explored multi-species conversations along the shoreline between Cape Town and Namibia. During COVID she produced an illustrated children’s story for adults – The NearandFar Tree. She was invited by The British Council Creative Commissions project Living-Language-Land to participate in COP 26 in Glasgow (2021).
