Awards and Recognition
Best Emerging Artist award, 2005 — San Francisco ArtSFest, 2005 Arts Expo Gala
Recommended to apply for the 2004 SFMOMA SECA Art Award
“Don’t Miss” section, San Francisco Magazine, September 2004.
“Oil paintings as spectacularly fragmented as last night’s
dreams, in Supervisor Matt Gonzalez’s office, the
politician’s penultimate curatorial effort before returning to
private practice.”
"Best of the Bay 2003 — Best Art Investment," San Francisco Bay Guardian, 30 July 2003.
"Felix Macnee's moody paintings dwell on the morbid, contemplative side
of life. Beauty is defined through broken spirits and half-forgotten
nightmares. His Clemente-influenced 'Red Series' is a study of pain,
pleasure, and — surprise — the color red. Browsing
expensive art books or visiting art museums is often inspiring, but
coming home to a Macnee on the wall could offer solace to your own
spirit, broken or otherwise." —Lori Spears
Excerpts from "Sparrow Lines" and other drawings published in Issue Five of Watchword Press literary magazine, September 2003.
Artist's profile, the Matt Gonzalez show, cable television, San Francisco, first airing, April 2003.
San Francisco Art Institute Merit Scholarship — 1998 - 2000
San Francisco Art Institute Spring Show Award: Best of Show, Painting — May 1998
From the "Seattle Weekly," October 2001:
"If there's one thing that art instructors drill into student's heads,
it's the importance of continually drawing. San Francisco artists Felix
Macnee and Paul Spencer went way beyond such teacherly advice by making
500 drawings each for this exhibit that reveals the creative process in
its rawest form." — Anna Fahey, on the Thousand Drawings exhibit
at Nico Gallery.
