Kenny McKendry Painter N.Ireland 1964

Kenny McKendry, (N. Irelannd 1964) the only Irish member of the Royal Society of Portrait Painters, has been a fulltime artist for forty years. He believes that painting can be a haphazard occupation, in which hours, days and even weeks of continuous thought and application can be lost in a moment, ‘all in the pursuit of the right mark in the correct place and balanced between the mind’s eye and the correct disposition of representational form’. For McKendry, all picture types, including portraiture, still-life and landscape, are dictated not only by what the eye sees but by ‘a subliminal search for what lies within, beyond 9loand eternally’.
