KENNETH WEBB | The Glade
Oil on Canvas
44 x 63.5 cms / 17¼ x 25 inches
Signed Webb (lower right)
In The Glade, Kenneth Webb creates a forest interior suffused with filtered light and rhythmic form. Arched canopies in green and ochre crown a tranquil clearing, while vivid poppies animate the foreground. Drawing on his lifelong engagement with nature, Webb abstracts the woodland into a harmonious structure of colour and space. The result is a contemplative scene that merges memory, design and the enduring vitality of the natural world.
- Kenneth Webb is one of Irelands 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. Kenneths 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.
