KENNETH WEBB | Carousel
Oil on Canvas

Signed Webb (lower right)
Kenneth Webb’s Carousel bursts with kinetic joy, its Sweetpea bouquet whirling in a kaleidoscope of crimson, violet, cobalt, gold and white. With crisp geometric brushwork and a vivid turquoise and blue backdrop, Webb contrasts playfulness with control in this piece. Each petal-like square spins in rhythmic motion, echoing the carefree swirl of a fairground ride. A celebration of colour, balance and emotion, Carousel encapsulates Webb’s gift for turning feeling into physical form.
Kenneth Webb is one of Ireland’s 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. Kenneth’s 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.
