KENNETH WEBB | Blue Remembered Hills
30" x 60"/ 76 x 152 cms
Oil on Canvas
The vivid pink sky is certainly the centerpiece of this painting. The scene depicts a lake with waterlilies floating on the surface, barley making a first impression due to the setting sun. The sun has just about set, disappearing for the day into the distance, creating a bright reflection across the calm surface of the lake and illuminating the surrounding trees.
- Kenneth Webb is one of Irelands leading painters. Brought up in post-war Britain, from a young age Kenneth was inspired by the Gloucestershire countryside where he grew up. In 1974 Kenneth purchased the Ballinaboy Studio in Connemara on the west coast of Ireland, and this wonderful place has offered a multitude of inspiration to Kenneth for over forty years. Kenneths magnificent ethereal landscapes of Connemara, his colourful and textured paintings of poppies and his shimmering visions of his favoured waterlily pool are instantly recognisable for their vibrancy and gestural brushstrokes. So unique and striking are his paintings that over the past decade with our gallery, his work has amassed an international following culminating with the seminal exhibition Kenneth Webb at 90. Despite his 91 years, Kenneth is as prolific as ever and his work continues to explore creative boundaries.
