Alexander McKenzie (b. 1971) is one of Australia’s foremost contemporary landscape painters, celebrated for his meticulously constructed, imagined terrains that blend romanticism, symbolism, and classical composition. His works often evoke a sense of suspended time—still, otherworldly environments rendered with almost devotional attention to detail. Balancing technical precision with emotional resonance, McKenzie's paintings invite viewers into contemplative spaces that recall both the melancholy of 17th-century Dutch landscapes and the quiet grandeur of early Australian topography.
Positioned between memory and myth, McKenzie’s works are frequently described as psychological landscapes—places of longing, reflection, and transformation. His enduring market appeal lies in his ability to merge classical traditions with a contemporary sensibility, appealing to both private collectors and major institutions across the country.
