Simon Kenny: The Emotion of Abstraction
Award-winning artist Simon Kenny is renowned for his vibrant, expressive paintings, often described as lyrical abstraction. Dubbed a "radical Turner", his dynamic colour burst pieces have captivated collectors worldwide, particularly in the USA.
Born in Dublin in 1976, Simon’s art is deeply personal yet universally resonant. His works evoke emotions and memories, inviting viewers to connect with familiar places or unexpected feelings. Using brush and palette knife techniques, subtle under-painting, and shifting colour gradients, he creates atmospheric compositions that feel almost alive.
His work has been showcased in prestigious galleries, including Saatchi, and continues to inspire with its dramatic energy and emotional depth.
