Oil on Canvas
51 x 40.5 cms / 20 x 16 inches
Signed Webb (lower right)
Kenneth Webb’s Slow Unfolding meditates on time and transformation through the quiet emergence of waterlilies. Set against a violet pool, the blossoms rise among jewel-toned lily pads rendered in vivid greens, golds, and russets. Painted at Ballinaboy, this recent work reflects Webb’s lifelong dialogue with nature. Here, the gradual opening of petals becomes a metaphor for reflection, growth, and the serenity found in stillness.
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.
