KENNETH WEBB | Honesty
Oil on Canvas
30 x 25.5 cms / 11 ¾ x 10 inches
Signed Webb (lower right)
Kenneth Webb’s Honesty is a bold, minimalist composition from his Sweetpea series, blending silver leaf, red and white forms against a stark black background. Inspired by the translucent seed pods of the honesty plant, Webb abstracts their essence into sharp, jewel-like shapes that gleam with emotional resonance. This striking bouquet speaks of purity and presence where each reflective shard evokes clarity and vulnerability.
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.
