A powerful, high-impact piece defined by strong contrasts of black and white, Over The Border is unmistakably Mackenzie Thorpe in its bold simplicity and emotional clarity. The work strips back detail to focus on form, shape, and symbolic presence, creating a striking visual language that immediately commands attention.
Medium: Pastel
Dimensions: 30″ x 34″
Artwork: Original
Inspired by Mackenzie’s roots, the piece carries a sense of personal history and reflection. The figures and landscape elements feel reduced to their essential essence, suggesting themes of journey, separation, and belonging without relying on literal narrative.
The monochrome palette intensifies the emotional weight of the work, allowing texture, gesture, and composition to take centre stage. This restraint gives the piece a contemporary edge, while still remaining deeply connected to Thorpe’s signature storytelling approach.
For collectors, this original pastel offers a strong statement work—visually bold, emotionally grounded, and rich in meaning. Its simplicity is its strength, inviting interpretation while maintaining a clear sense of identity and origin.
