| 关于此艺术家 | |
For the past twenty years John Kingerlee has lived and painted on the Beara Peninsula in West Cork. During this period he has evolved a technique of painting whereby layers of pigment are applied one over the other, forming thick strata of paint akin to the rocky landscape visible outside his studio window. Each layer requires considerable time to dry and in pictures such as the present work, which can have as many as fifty to one hundred coats of paint, the entire process is lengthy and deliberative. |

Landscape with Standing Form
2004 |
)
|
| This serene landscape belongs to a body of recent work Kingerlee describes as his “white-outsâ€, in which he adds large quantities of white to his paints in order to exploit the subtlety of reduced colour. He creates what are essentially timeless and meditative free-form spaces, uncluttered by sharply defined shapes that would tie the viewer down to the ‘here and now’. Parallels - if any are needed – can be drawn with the barren shores of the Beara Peninsula where the artist lives, a truly elemental landscape in which views of islands and mountains can be obliterated within minutes by weather systems coming in off the Atlantic. In the left foreground of the picture stands a cloaked figure (or possibly a pair of figures), who is about to ascend a slope leading to the edge of the void. The figure acts as a proxy for the viewer, inviting us to share in his contemplation of the infinitude beyond. The cool, dark tones with which the standing form has been painted provide a foil for the soft whites, pinks, blues and yellows of the background, achieved by means of a combination of palette knife work and stippling with a bristle brush. Kingerlee’s reduction and distillation of the essentials of landscape into a miasma of highly textured, variegated colour constitutes an achievement that seems unique within contemporary painting. When the ethereal content is combined, as here, with a technique relying on a build-up of countless layers of pigment, one is hard pressed not to conclude that Kingerlee has effectively reinvented landscape painting.

| 教育程度与个人自传 | |
| John Kingerlee was born in Birmingham, England in 1936. His Mother was related to Hogan's from County Cork and he was educated in a school run by the Marist Fathers. After living for twenty years in Cornwall in the far southwest of Britain, he moved in 1982 to an isolated farmhouse on the Beara Peninsula in West Cork, Ireland. Whether by chance or design, Kingerlee's decision to 'go west', leaving behind a predominantly Anglo Saxon environment in preference for the wild scenery of Europe's most westerly shores, saw him following in the footsteps of the great Celtic Revival artists and writers of the early 20th Century, and just like his fore-bears, he has found this place of rocks, seas and majestic skies where nothing is static, to be a source of continuous spiritual invigoration. In this setting, looking directly out from his home across Kenmare Bay to the ring of Kerry, John and his wife Mo lead a life which some might describe as lonely. However, what they lack in human contact they make up for through an existence, which extends to growing their own vegetables in their organic garden. The Kingerlees' alternative outlook on life somehow seems to be in complete harmony both with the space they inhabit and with the art that flows from John's palette knife and brush. 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.
