About the Item

"Inspiration" is a part of Christopher Kennedy's "Trees Revered" series that uses his abstract PhotoLuminism technique combined with trees from the real world to create an otherworldly vision. This tree is a Ginkgo. Its leaves turn brilliant yellow in the autumn as temperatures cool and they then quickly fall. "I would often admire the trees in this series on my way to some mundane appointment but discovered that most folks rarely even noticed them due to their undesirable roadside settings. I determined to give them another chance to be admired for their unique qualities by plucking them out of their less-than-perfect situations and creating "lightscapes" in which to showcase them." "Each tree was given a new background chosen specifically for its colors and created utilizing various movements of the camera. This style of painting with light is a slight deviation from my norm as it utilizes light reflected off natural objects instead of using light as the direct source. This creates a warm, abstract world in which to feature these objects of majesty." Inspiration is printed on white aluminum using dye sublimation and is backed by an aluminum frame with hanging hardware. British-born Christopher is a lifelong photographer but spent many years working with composers in the Hollywood film industry before deciding to follow a new path. Perfecting his concept of PhotoLuminism imagery that he printed onto large sheets of aluminum, he forged his way into the professional photography market. This new technique attracted the attention of international art consultants, collectors, and galleries in the Philadephia area. His work has won many awards and hangs in prestigious private and public collections, including the Hyatt Regency Chicago, the Marriott Marquis Houston, the Dubai Conrad Hilton and the North East Illinois University.
