artist john Kingerlee b1936 Considered to be one of Ireland's leading contemporary artists, 86 years old ,the reclusive and eminent artist John Kingerlee, who was described by a leading New York Times art critic as the 'best artist since Turner'.
A non-conformist at heart, John has turned his back
on the traditional way of seeing and depicting landscape - as a series of
parallel planes that are made to appear to recede from foreground to background
by the artists manipulation of linear and aerial perspective. Recognising that
perspective itself is a mathematical construct, John takes a different approach
that is as radical as it is original. He states that he wants his art to
recreate the experience of being in and moving through the landscape.
