KENNETH WEBB | Covenant
Oil on Canvas
92 x 122 cms / 36 x 48 inches
Covenant by Kenneth Webb channels elemental energy into abstracted bogland forms, where light fractures across shadowed ground in ribbons of violet, rust, and aquamarine. Painted during his visionary Dystopian Series, the work suggests a pact between earth and spirit, a dynamic communion of colour and terrain. The landscape dissolves into gesture and emotion, blurring memory with myth. Here, Webb offers not observation, but a deeply felt, almost sacred, reckoning with nature.
- 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.
