Todd
McKie’s work is among the most instantly recognized
and thoroughly loved art produced in Boston over the past
three decades. Having reduced his compositional operation to
a few key elements, he nevertheless manages to summon a complete
range of contemporary life’s pleasures and travails as
perceived by a bemused participant.
Admired by peers, collectors, and curators for his painterly
invention and wit, McKie's work is, in fact often less understandable
than it seems at first blush. Enveloped in a risible atmosphere
of absurd predicament, the dilemmas of McKie's protagonists
resist straightforward interpretation.
Avidly collected, McKie's works are held in many private and corporate collections and in the public collections of major museums throughout the region.
