The Dark Has Come
SOLD
Size:52 x 52 in.
Simon Kenny’s "The Dark Has Come" is a captivating 47" x 47" original painting that perfectly exemplifies his signature style of lyrical abstraction. Framed in a sleek black wooden floating frame, this atmospheric piece invites the viewer into an emotional and dynamic world of colour and light, where contrast and movement are at the heart of the composition.
The painting features an explosion of vibrant hues—blues, oranges, reds, and whites—against a darker backdrop, creating a striking juxtaposition between light and shadow. The swirling colours, with their radiant energy, appear to burst through the darkness, evoking a sense of hope and illumination breaking through an enveloping gloom. The textured layers and subtle gradients suggest depth and fluidity, as if the scene is in constant motion, capturing a moment of dramatic transition.
Kenny’s use of a palette knife and brushwork allows for intricate detail and a sense of spontaneity in the composition. The colours blend seamlessly, yet maintain a rawness that speaks to the emotional depth of the piece. The use of light seems almost ethereal, drawing the eye into the centre of the painting and encouraging a personal connection with its abstract narrative. The title, "The Dark Has Come," suggests a moment of impending darkness, yet the luminous centre of the piece offers a sense of balance and possibility, leaving the interpretation open to the viewer’s own experience.
Simon Kenny, born in Dublin in 1976, has become renowned for his expressive and atmospheric paintings, often likened to the works of Turner. His fascination with the natural world and the emotions it evokes is evident in this work, as is his ability to connect deeply with his art on a personal level. His dynamic abstract compositions have earned him international acclaim, and his work has been collected by both private and corporate clients across the globe.
"The Dark Has Come" is not just a visual experience; it is an emotional journey, capturing the delicate balance between light and dark, chaos and calm. The painting resonates with the viewer on a personal level, offering a sense of both drama and serenity. Simon Kenny’s ability to infuse his work with such emotional energy makes this painting a stunning example of contemporary abstract art.
