Oil on Canvas

Signed Webb (lower right)
Wildflowers by Kenneth Webb bursts with chromatic energy, a jubilant field painted with a thick impasto and a radiant colour palette. Swathes of crimson, violet, gold, and cobalt collide across the canvas, capturing the ecstatic abundance of nature untamed. With no fixed horizon, the painting immerses the viewer in a sea of blooms, where texture and tone become the language of emotion. Wildflowers celebrates the spirit of the natural world through pure, expressive colour.
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.
