Fragments of a Lake by Kenneth Webb reconfigures nature into bold abstraction, where angular shards of blue punctuate a vivid green and pink terrain. Reminiscent of lily pads and water reflections, the fractured forms float amid vertical gestures and organic curves. Webb’s surreal palette and symbolic geometry suggest a landscape seen through memory and metaphor. Rooted in the natural world yet unbound by realism, this visionary work probes the threshold between landscape and imagination.
- 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.
