Signed Webb (lower right)
In Evening, Derrygimla, Kenneth Webb returns to the memory-rich peatlands of Connemara, capturing the spirit of a place that has shaped his vision for decades. Though now physically distant, the landscape of Derrygimla remains ever-present in his imagination. Here, cobalt waters and sunset skies glow above a historic bogland steeped in myth. A prehistoric trackway lies beneath the surface, its legacy reflected in Webb’s luminous, deeply resonant meditation on place and time.
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.
