Signed Webb (lower right)
In Whispers Beneath the Surface, Kenneth Webb reimagines his iconic waterlily motif through bold abstraction and vivid colour. Floating blossoms emerge from a tapestry of layered greens, golds, and purples, suggesting hidden depths and fleeting reflections. Rooted in the gardens of Ballinaboy, this composition is suggestive of the quiet drama of nature, where what lies beneath is as vital and resonant as what meets the eye.
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.
