'Visual Artist' Alistair Kennedy's new and recent work will be shown at Repton's Gallery No.1 in a collection called 'In an instance'. The Work consists of a collection of manipulated polaroid images that, alongside being pieces in their own right, inform the mixed media paintings and sketches that are also on display.
Alistair Kennedy is a Visual Artist based in the Midlands, UK. He is a painter / mixed media artist. Kennedy's work spans a multi-disciplined approach, including film, installation, photography and painting. Much of it is based on aspects of landscape and the self - unobtainable, decaying, desolate.
"I thrive on exploring different techniques and processes, pushing the medium and combining media, creating experimental surfaces. I am interested in language and environment and each piece is a response to a situation or place. Narrative and its subversion play a key role in the development of the work. Each piece is both dialogue and argument."
His work has been shown both locally and nationally; including London, Edinburgh, Sheffield and Birmingham.
Currently serving as artist in residence at Abbot Beyne School Arts College, Winshill, Burton -On-Trent. The residency programme provides access to a working studio within the schools arts college building and the opportunity to work with students on the progression of their artistic studies.For more information, please visit the artist's websites: www.alistairkennedy.co.uk
