Mackie is a talented artist from Taupo, New Zealand; self-taught and incorporating a range of styles and materials, predominately focusing on a street art aesthetic.

Using a striking range of recycled and found materials, the vibrant works come alive through the use of acrylic, oil and spray paints, along with more mechanical aspects on some works.

The artist engages with the audience; provoking initial reactions that let us examine our own biases. There is subtlety there as well; some works are controversial; pushing societal boundaries and challenging cultural norms. Humour is a constant theme; with puns and wordplay common, sometimes crass and always entertaining. His work stands as a bold commentary on modern life, sustainability, and the power of language in art.
