Early Rising by Kenneth Webb depicts a harbour scene in bold abstraction, where fractured forms and textured brushwork hint at the stillness of dawn. Masts, boats and shoreline dissolve into planes of indigo, ochre and slate. With expressive restraint, Webb distills the essence of place displayinh quiet movement, shifting light and the anticipation of day. This early modernist work reveals Webb’s deep sensitivity to mood, structure and the transformative power of paint.
- 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.
