A meticulously rendered oil painting by Lucy McKenzie, *They're Lying on their CV's* employs the artist's signature blend of trompe l'oeil technique and conceptual inquiry. McKenzie engages with themes of authenticity, labor, and constructed identity, using the painted surface as a site to interrogate systems of credentialing and self-presentation. The work reflects her broader interest in the intersection of fine art, decorative tradition, and institutional critique.
