Dramatic, atmospheric and totally
captivating, Simon Kenny’s abstract paintings are internationally
recognized and truly dynamic. Born in Dublin Ireland, Simon
discovered his love for art from an early age. His style of
painting, known as ‘lyrical abstraction’ encompasses paced brush and
palette knife work, subtle underpainting and graduating alterations
in colour. His paintings are deliberately not specific to any place
or time, as Simons aim is for the viewer to develop and build their
own personal connections with each piece. Whether his images remind
you of somewhere you have actually seen, or invoke a particular
emotion or memory, he aims to balance both a sense of materialism
and spiritualism through this abstraction. Indeed, as he starts on a
new painting, Simon himself begins on a journey through a host of
emotions, which are carefully considered and expressed through both
colour and form, offering the viewer a direct visual connection to
his mind set. |
