About the artwork
“Ocean Swell” Oil on canvas. Width 80 x Height 80 cm or 31.5 x 31.5 inches. Signed. Framed in a white stained wooden frame. With a certificate of authenticity. Ready to hang “Ocean Swell” is inspired by the coastline of Devon and Cornwall. It shows large waves cresting, lit by the sun turning the colour of the waves a mix of cool blue, slate grey and deep green. The time of day is key here. It is midday, the strong sunlight is reflecting off the sea and through the waves. I am looking to give an immersive feeling in this painting. I want the viewer to feel they are in the water and part of the painting. I like to work in oils because of their versatility. You can layer the paint so that it has a translucency. It is so robust a medium I can scrape the paint back or scratch into it too. This is another in my series of wave paintings which I started 5 years ago and numbering 50. I graduated with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art in 2008 at the University of Plymouth. My exhibitions have been throughout Devon and one of my films was been exhibited at the South Bank, London and in Italy. I am a Teignmouth based artist.

Catherine Kennedy
Born in Buckinghamshire, I move to Devon 15 years ago and am now based in Teignmouth. My recent work has been focused on the changing colours of the sea and childhood memories of holidays to the Mediterranean and annual visits to Torbay (before the M5 was built). I have been painting a series of wave paintings for over 5 years now. It is the light coming through the waves and ever-changing colour of the sea that I am keen to explore. Everyone sees colour in a slightly different way to one another, call it colour perception. The way I see colour and the feelings I get when the colours align well on a canvas is appeals to me. The way collectors see my work will be unique to them because of their own individual colour perception. Painting f... (see more)
