In Byre by the Sea, Kenneth Webb captures the rugged beauty of Ireland’s Atlantic coast. Framed by craggy rocks, the whitewashed byre (a cowshed or farm building used to house cattle, traditionally found in Scotland, Ireland and northern England) with a vivid red roof stands against golden sands and a brilliant blue sea. Webb’s textured brushwork and bold palette convey a deep connection to place, blending realism with abstraction. This vibrant composition celebrates rural solitude, memory, and the enduring spirit of the Irish landscape.
- 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.
