KENNETH WEBB | Poppy Cascade
Oil on Canvas
146 x 51 cms / 57½ x 20 inches
Signed Webb (lower right)
Poppy Cascade by Kenneth Webb bursts with colour and momentum, a vertical torrent of florals cascading from upper to lower canvas. Radiant reds, oranges, and blues collide in rhythmic succession, each bloom rendered with sculptural intensity. Webb’s long-standing fascination with the poppy reaches a crescendo here, evoking both movement and memory. This dynamic composition is emblematic of the artist’s Lyrical Series, celebrating nature’s vitality through vivid abstraction.
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.
