Kenneth Webb’s Spring Vases channels the playful spirit of his Sweetpea paintings, where joy, cheekiness, and emotion bloom in abstract form. Here, Webb experiments boldly with colour and shape. Violet, crimson, gold and ultramarine squares dance from a white vase against vivid orange and sky-blue planes. For Webb, these works are bursts of feeling: sometimes innocent, sometimes pensive, but always joyful, their fragrance lingering in the paint like a memory of spring.
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.
