Simon Kenny is a multi award winning artist well known both nationally and internationally for his vibrant, expressive paintings. More recently he has drawn significant attention for his growing collection of colour burst paintings where he attempts to balance both materialism and spiritualism through lyrical abstraction. Fascinated by the world around him, Simon aims to lay out his emotional responses on canvas and better understand the human condition to which he is bound.
Born in 1976 in Dublin Ireland Simon discovered his love of art at a young age. Following his natural artistic instinct he acquired techniques and preferences which he relates through his work. He aims to deconstruct cultural traditions and beliefs using various mediums to solidify his statement and personal views. As he starts on a new painting, he begins a journey through a host of emotions which are expressed through colour and form to offer the viewer a direct visual connection with his mind set.
His work is widely collected by both private and corporate clients, located around the globe, and over the years his work has appeared in a large number of exhibitions and galleries including the most recent shows at:
