About the Item

"Inspired by the idea of nature leaving its mark on the man-made object, Kenny started cutting up bottles to create his works. Working without a camera, Kenny creates small plates or slides laden with objects found on his wanderings – leaves, flowers, shells and rocks. Each plate is then scanned to produce abstract large-scale photographs rich with opalescent colours, which take on the form of imagined landscapes. Kenny’s ‘O Hanami’ series is named after the Japanese festival that celebrates the few short days of cherry blossom blooms before they are swept away by the wind. “I sought out beauty and fragility in the scraps of gathered material, mindful of my concerns about the landscape and the scars and marks left by man as the land is ordered and shaped, clipped and manicured,” Kenny says of the series." - R, Seymour, British Journal of Photography, 2016 This work will be mounted on aluminium and framed to the highest museum standards with custom made waxed framed and antireflective Art Glass but please get in touch if you would like to purchase unframed Print. This option is also available. The cost of framing and shipping would be deducted. Please enquire to discuss the options or purchase mounted and beautifully framed artwork. Lead time for mounting and framing 2-4 weeks.

Eternal Flame III - Koi Carp - Print on Museum Glass with Gold and Silver leaf
Located in London, GB
"The bottomless depths of a private koi pond in a Sussex garden. Dancing light, rhythmic flow and a coloured whirl of so many flashing fins, all help to convey the dark mystery of a life below the surface" ETERNAL FLAME III, 2017 Printed on museum glass, hand finished with White Gold and Silver leaf 30 x 30 cm image glass size/ 31 x 31 cm/ 12.2 x 12.2 inches (Framed) From edition of 5 Series: Southern Song Each piece is individually hand finished by the artist with White Gold and Silver leaf giving the piece its own unique style. Larger dimensions available from limited edition of 5 also available and made upon order. The beauty of the pieces printed on glass are truly revealed when seen in the flesh, which shimmer in the daylight and change constantly as different light sources are reflected off the print. "I am primarily driven by an exploration of colour and form. My objective is to bring an emotional element and aesthetic balance to my work. I try to depict the subtleties of the landscape and am happiest making images from the smallest, most insignificant detail - the challenge being to portray the essence of what is about my subject matter that has taken my eye." - Valda Bailey...
