Case Mackeen’s work is familiar yet fresh. From arresting portraits to dreamy landscapes, his spraypainted canvases capture vivid energy in soft-edged shapes: blurs of colours become jackets, container ships, the traffic snaking along 2nd Avenue.
Mackeen’s artwork is taking centre stage at a new exhibition at Fingerprint Gallery. Painting for the After-Culture draws from his roots in Toronto’s graffiti scene of the ‘90s and his journey through street art.
While Mackeen moved to Vancouver in 2019, this is his first show in the city—with previous exhibitions including stints at the Art Gallery of Ontario and the Royal Ontario Museum.
