KENNETH WEBB | September Evening
12" x 16" / 30 x 41 cms
Oil on Canvas
Webb captures the meeting between human presence and the natural environment in the western wilds of Ireland. Richly textured boulders define the immediate foreground before dissolving into the deeply saturated fields and waters of the coast. Webb’s image sets these islands of settlement against the physicality of their natural surrounds.
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.
