Kenneth Webb
Summer's Lease – Vibrant Poppy Field & Coastal Landscape Painting

About the Item

Kenneth Webb’s Summer’s Lease is a masterful celebration of colour and texture, where lush green fields and scarlet poppies meet a dreamy ocean horizon under twilight sky. Webb’s signature use of textured impasto imbues the canvas with a tangible vitality. His palette is both bold and lyrical, with vermillion and crimson blooms dancing across coastline fields, punctuated by rugged white limestone and the deep azure of the sea. A distinguished figure in contemporary impressionism, Webb has spent decades refining his singular approach to landscape painting, merging emotion with atmosphere, texture with luminosity. His work transcends mere representation, drawing the viewer into a deeply immersive experience—one that speaks of place, memory, and the ephemeral beauty of nature. Whether placed in a grand salon or a serene retreat, it transforms a space, infusing it with both tranquility and energy. Collectors of floral landscapes, Irish fine art, and expressive contemporary impressionism will find in Summer’s Lease a timeless masterpiece—a testament to Kenneth Webb’s legacy and his unwavering ability to capture the spirit of the natural world. ABOUT KENNETH WEBB Kenneth Webb is considered to be one of the finest landscape painters of the last one-hundred years. Over the course of his career, Kenneth’s landscape painting has evolved through several significant phases over his many decades of painting - in terms of both subject and technique, and today he continues to create and innovate through his art. Kenneth has spent his life creating spectacular paintings so that we might share his own individual reaction and impression to the natural world around us. Kenneth’s paintings are an exploration and celebration of the natural world through colour. Experimenting with colour in a free, expressionist manner since his art school years, Kenneth has arrived at a joyous aesthetic that captivates and envelops the viewer. Taking inspiration from the natural landscape around him, from his garden and his studio in Connemara on the west coast of Ireland, his paintings are rooted in place and are deeply personal. From vibrant, attention grabbing poppies to ethereal waterlilies, Kenneth has always sought out the beauty in the natural world that surrounds him. From the south coast of Devon to the rugged landscape of Connemara, Kenneth’s artistic milieu has enabled him to constantly evolve and reimagine his subjects. Despite their range, none of these themes has been entirely isolated or completed; Kenneth continually revisits subjects and techniques, adapting his approach and combining ideas in his eternal quest to truly capture the mood, the emotion - the spiritual essence - of a landscape. Over the course of Kenneth’s lengthy artistic career, he has shown works at numerous notable institutions, including the Royal Academy in London. Kenneth founded the Irish School of Landscape painting in 1957 and has since lectured at the Tate Gallery, Victoria and Albert Museum and the National Gallery London. Kenneth’s paintings are celebrated and collected internationally, with his work placed in prestigious collections across the world. Gladwell & Patterson have represented Kenneth Webb in London since 2010 and in that time his monumental works have found fame with important collectors in China, America and the United Kingdom.
