Hi Folks,

I've just had an email from the Director of Saatchi, Rebecca Wilson, informing me that she's selected another of my paintings for their latest collection. The artwork "The Fallen" is the sixth piece to be selected for Saatchi collections. Its an abstract oil painting on canvas measuring 40 x 40 x 1.5" . It was painted in predominantly warm tones of browns, yellows, golds and touch of blue with an initial light underpainting and finished with bold palette knife strikes.

Abstract Paintings on Canvas by Artist Simon Kenny

Hi Folks.

I've just completed a large abstract oil painting on canvas called " Oblivion" which is now listed on my website http://simonkenny.artweb.com . The painting measures 60 x 48", its texutred, richly coloured and themed around an apocalyptic event. I love painting these moody, dramatic abstracts as I feel I can pour out my thoughts on canvas then visualise them in reality.Its always facinating to hear what others see in each painting and I'm amazed by how diverse those opinions can be.

I'm currently working on another smaller oil painting measuring 40" x 30" which should be completed towards the end of this week and I have two colour burst pieces which I'm aiming to have finished shortly after.

"Oblivion", oil on canvas, 60" x 48"

Available via my website.

To make my paintings more accessible I have a new purchase option available which may be of interest. I understand as prices increase some of the expensive art works may become out of reach to those with limited budgets so I'm trying to offer a solution which may be of some use.

Once the inital payment has been made and cleared the painting/s will be marked as reserved in your name until the final payment has been received at the end of the agreed term.

Simon Kennys Abstract Paintings

Hi Folks,

I've just listed a number of new abstract paintings on my Artweb site, http://simonkenny.artweb.com .

The last of the four paintings " Now and Forever" was created using oil and acrylic paint on a large 40 x 40" stretched canvas. The piece is heavily textured over a light underpainting. I built the colour up to required tones lightly brushing out the edges to achieve the soft cloud like detailt then finished with a little impasto work to give a strong punchy focal point .

Altered State, created on a 72" x 24" stretched canvas was also painted using oil and acrylic, Salvator and Cygnus are both soley oil paint. I rarely paint on small canvases like the two 36 x 24" pieces and I found it quite challenge not having the freedom such large canvaes offer. That said I was really pleased with the outcome of the two abstract paintings so I'll be creating similar size pieces in the near future.

All four paintings are currently available for sale and I've attached images below with relevant details. If you have any questions or comments please don't hesitate in contacting me at simonkenny@eskayfineart.co.uk

Now and Forever 40 x 40" oil and acrylic on canvas.

Salvator 36 x 24" oil on canvas.

SOLD

Altered State 72 x 24" Oil and acrylic on canvas.

Abstract Paintings by Simon Kenny

Hi Folks,

Welcome to my next blog.

Images of all my recent abstract paintings are posted below and should you be interested in seeing further details please visit http://simonkenny.artweb.com or you can email me directly at simonkenny@eskayfineart.co.uk with your questions.

My 2013 portfolio is continuing to expand with a steady stream of new abstract paintings being added weekly. To keep my work fresh I have also been painting a number of abstracted landscape, seascape and skyscape/ skyline paintings. My paintings are created using only high quality materials and painted in varying sizes on stretched canvases ranging between 36" x 24" up to 72" x 48".

I have continued with the same themes in my abstract paintings with roughly half the new pieces being mixed media colour burst paintings that combine a large number of techniques and a broad colour palette. The majority of my abstract oil paintings are created using brushes, palette knives and poured paint with strong elements taken from the natural and spiritual world but maintaining a strong abstract tone .

My mixed media paintings are inspired and created using photos of extreme weather, deep space and again contain elements of a spiritual nature. The abstracted landscape and seascape paintings are not based on any one place in particular which not only leaves the paintings open to interpretation by the viewer but also directly reflects my mind set as I was creating each piece.

I've recently exhibited in two art fairs and a group exhibition where a number of paintings sold and I have another 3 exhibitions lined up this side of summer and I'm considering a solo show for late July.

Paintings sales have continued to grow well beyond my expectations which has been fantastic and in the early part of the year I was commissioned by a corporate client in the U.S and recently completed two private commissions both for Australian clients.

That's it for now folks.

Abstract Paintings by Simon Kenny

Hi Folks,

Welcome to my next blog.

I have a completed a set of new abstract oil and mixed media paintings which are available for sale and listed on simonkenny.artweb.com or you can contact me directly using the details provided. Simply scroll down to view the new abstract paintings and should you want to see more or have feedback please don't hesitate to contact me with your comments via either my website http://simonkenny.artweb.com or via my email address below.

Each of the abstract paintings are created on large canvases of various sizes from 40 x 30" to 60 x 48". I have continued with the split in styles with my oil paintings using more traditional methods and my mixed media paintings combining a large number of techniques, some old and some new, applied over textured canvas. My mixed media paintings are inspired by photos of cloud formations both planetary and in deep space.

I have also started to use a high gloss resin finish on certain select abstract paintings as it not only enhances the vibrancy of colour but also connects the viewer to the work more directly. I'm going to offer this as an additional service rather than finish every painting in the resin as it may not appeal to everyone's taste. I have also switched courier services to UPS due to continuing issues with City Link and Yodel. The UPS services are of exceptional quality both with national and international sales, collections are always on time, tracking details accurate and to date no issues so I am happy to finally be confident in this part of my sales process.

Painting sales have continued to grow steadily with corporate commissions for a number of large abstract paintings taking up the bulk of my time over the past month or so. I have a number of abstract paintings under way with two created in oil paint and two in mixed media so watch this space for further details.

Once again thanks for stopping by and please enjoy viewing my work below.

Simon Kenny Abstract Art Blog

Hi Folks,

Welcome to my next blog.

I have a completed a number of new abstract paintings, images below, which are available for sale and listed on various websites including my own at simonkenny.artweb.com

The paintings are all fairly large canvas pieces in either oil or mixed media. I have started to use a high gloss resin finish which really effective and I'm sure most of you have seen previously on others work. It not only adds a 3 dimensional aspect but also increases the vibrancy. The varying light reflected off the finish connects the viewer directly with the image so I think it really works on some of heavily textured abstract paintings.

The dark colour burst abstract painting called Elements is one of my recent favourites and although I have created 5 or 6 of these paintings in the past the finish just lifts the piece leagues ahead of the others so I'm really pleased with the outcome. I'm planning on creating a set of another five of these paintings perhaps with some varying colours alternating betweens reds and blues. I love experimenting with colour and texture on these paintings so really looking forward to getting stuck in there.

I have also just finished a number of really large corporate commissions paintings so time has been fairly limited to create works to my preference but I have three currently on the go which fingers crossed will be done in the next few weeks so watch this space.

This year to date I have sold 32 pieces from my 2012 portfolio as well as creating 12 commissioned paintings, all before the mad Christmas rush so I am really pleased with how things been so far. My work is steadily gaining recognition around the globe and I am now being approached regularly by galleries both nationally and internationally looking to represent me so I couldn't ask for more at the moment.

Also in the next few weeks I am hopefully to be selling work via newly developed gallery based in Mexico called Infinite Room. This is a great opportunity to increase my target audience and get my work seen as far a field as physically possible.

Four of my 2012 paintings are on show between 28th and 30th September with Art2Arts at upcoming Art Fair in Manchester . I have another solo exhibition planned for Bargrove focusing solely on my abstract oil paintings and hopefully one with the Lloyd Gill Gallery between November/ December. I have an exhibition planned in Bologna Italy in Late November, details to follow,and in the near future we are also looking to exhibit a number of my mixed media abstract paintings in the Dorchester Hotel London. This has been in the pipeline for some time and we are just waiting on confirmation of dates so I'll keep you posted.

If you are interested in any of the abstract paintings below, in my previous blogs, or would like to discuss a commission please dont hesitate in contacting me using the following email address.
