KENNETH WEBB | May's Rainbow
14" x 18" / 35.5 x 46 cms
Oil on Canvas
Webb has obviously spent a great deal of time recently in the meadow in his new Devonhome, where he has grown very attached to the pale curved hoods of the Lords and Ladies,nestling under trees and hedgerows. For him, these clusters of interesting, flamelike shapes,were a great contrast to the aloof, rigid trees above, in whose shade they live.
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.
