Welcome.
After years of experimenting with imagery, of few of those years spent working in print advertising, I have found images that I want to work with.
With the Wrestler series I am deliberately depicting the figure in an ambiguous space as I hope to examine the static role of wrestlers as they might be related to our national consciousness. Wrestlers are paradoxical, representative and very static, while representing aggressive motion. This series of paintings and drawings help me to explore this dichotomy in a painterly way. For me the muted pallet helps distill persona lacking finesse.
I moved to Seattle from Washington, DC in 1999. I graduated in 1982 with an emphasis in Fine Art, but my first exposure to art came from my father, Robert Kenyon, artist and musician throughout my childhood. I recall during family vacations and endless highway excursions my father emphasizing the value of observing the subject and the environment, looking for color or detail that might not necessarily be apparent on first glance.
