KENNETH WEBB | Forest Transept
Oil on Canvas
35.5 x 46 cms / 14 x 18 inches
Signed Webb (lower right)
In Forest Transept, Kenneth Webb reimagines the woodland as a cathedral-like space, where shafts of colour arch overhead like stained glass. Bold geometric planes in green, violet, and orange intersect a shadowed forest interior, while vivid poppies anchor the foreground. Webb fuses abstraction and symbolism to explore light, structure, and spiritual resonance, transforming the natural world into a contemplative, architectural vision.
- 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.
