KENNETH WEBB | Glorious
20" x 50" / 51 x 127 cms
Oil and Acryllic
This fabulous cornfield infused with poppies is extravagant with intense colour, laid thick with palette knife. Once a common sight across the land, chemical use and intensive farming all but eradicated wild poppies in fields of crops, but thankfully they are making a comeback. Kenneth adores the power of the colour and shape of these poppies, contrasted against the gold of the ripening harvest, and has set these to canvas as an everlasting memory. This landscape radiates with the heat and potency of a perfect summer's afternoon.
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.
