CHRIS KENYON

CONTEMPORARY  LANDSCAPE PAINTINGS 

EXHIBTING JUNE 2012

The description of my work is impressionist landscape with a leaning towards abstraction. Unlike most impressionists I am more interested in structural details not vistas. I enjoy investigating the ‘bones’ of nature, dissecting and extracting strong linear forms.

 The paint is applied in a loosely layered and thatched technique. I like to build the format up and to then wipe it away and also paint out previously painted areas. This enhances the depth, reflectiveness  and creating vague shadows and rhythms. Paint dribbles, loose brushwork, rough

And smooth surfaces, expansive spaces opaque washes of earthy colours, intimate the seasons.

The only way to reach my home and studio on a bushland hillside is via boat over an ever-changing body of water. This has had a profound influence on the work. The moods of the river have become part of my being, inevitably mirrored in the way water and its reflections have gradually becoming a key element in my paintings.

My work is now taking on a more rhythmical  quality culminating in an abstract format of strength and experience, a result of a maturing of my visual language.
