Prolific figurative artist, who exhibited his first public work aged 10. A spontaneous draughtsman, he completed most pen drawings fast on-site, washing them in at his studio. Studied under Henry Tonks at Slade School of Fine Art, with periods at Goldsmiths’, St Martin’s and Woolwich Art Schools. McKenzie developed an interest in the City of London’s topography when he worked for a bank, then several stockbroking firms. Following rapid lunchtime sketches he would return in the evening or at weekends to elaborate on them. He was made a freeman of the Painter-Stainers’ Company and of the City in 1965. In 1980 McKenzie donated 160 London watercolours to the Guildhall, to augment those bought by the Corporation of London, a selection being shown at the Barbican in 1986.
Other solo appearances included a ninetieth birthday exhibition at The Gallery at Architecture Ltd in 1999. The British Museum, Victoria & Albert Museum, National Maritime Museum and other public collections hold examples.
