Ken O'Neill Art
Welcome to Ken O’Neill Art.
Born in the Viking City of Waterford, Ireland’s oldest City. Ken’s Artistic career began in 1997. Since then, Ken Has Exhibited in Many Major Cities including, London, New York, Rome and the Bienalle Venice.
Ken O’Neill’s artistic journey has always been in continuous evolution and his art conveys the presence of a creative mind with the gift of direction. A talented contemporary artist albeit with more conceptual ties to a renaissance artist than many of his peers and a communicator of stories reminiscent of the unmistakable protagonists in our art history who exalted the written word for centuries.

O’Neill’s painting is indeed a refreshing reminder of what art is and what art ought to be as we are eloquently re-introduced to the notion that art must speak and have a voice. In his compositions we are energised and rejuvenated by the unequivocal power to project imagination and to capture emotion in its purest form.
The simplicity of the graceful lines and forms within the composi-tion create a sense of intrigue that provokes the spectator into reacting with curiosity and urgency although faced with a seemingly peaceful artwork. The result is a conceptual paradox where mind and heart are inexplicably in unison.

Ken O’Neill is a rare artist who shows no fear in investigating the human mind and feelings; a journey in which the artist is able to express himself, albeit retaining intellectual integrity, in his desire to stimulate the spectator to form ideas and imagine.

“These thought evoking paintings surrounded a large centre piece titled,Arrested in the Garden. Such an ancient and atmospheric space to hold an Exhibition, it really adds a sense of depth to the artwork.”
