The Story
Size:52 x 44 in.
Simon Kenny’s Far Below (47" x 39") is a mesmerising explosion of colour and energy, evoking the movement of light and emotion through abstract form. The interplay of deep blues, vibrant reds, and luminous highlights creates a powerful sense of depth, as if gazing into an ethereal abyss or witnessing an otherworldly storm unfold. His expressive brushwork and layering techniques enhance the painting’s dynamic intensity, drawing the viewer into its swirling composition.
Described as a ‘radical Turner’, Kenny’s style falls under ‘lyrical abstraction’, where emotion and movement take precedence over traditional representation. His works are never site-specific but instead encourage a personal connection, allowing each viewer to find their own interpretation.
Born in Dublin in 1976, Kenny developed a fascination with colour and atmosphere early on. His mastery of brush and palette knife work, combined with subtle under-painting and seamless tonal shifts, gives his paintings their distinctive, almost celestial quality. His work is held in private and corporate collections worldwide, with a significant following in the USA. Exhibited in prestigious galleries, including the Saatchi Gallery, Kenny’s dynamic and emotionally charged abstracts continue to captivate art enthusiasts and collectors alike.
