Simon Kenny
Atmospheric Abstraction | Colour & Motion | Emotion in Space
Simon Kenny is a British abstract painter whose large-scale works transform colour and movement into immersive, atmospheric experiences. Known for his distinctive approach to abstraction, he creates paintings that feel alive with energy - shifting fields of light, tone and motion that draw the viewer instinctively closer.
Working primarily in oils, Simon builds each piece through layered glazes, sweeping gestures and subtle changes in density and tone. The process is intuitive and expressive, yet grounded in technical precision. His surfaces hold depth without heaviness, allowing colour to behave like space - expanding, dissolving or tightening in rhythm with the emotion behind the work.
Over the past two decades, Simon has developed a strong international following. His paintings are held in private and corporate collections throughout the UK, the US, Europe and the Middle East, with placements in luxury hotels, commercial towers and significant private estates. Exhibitions in London, New York and Dubai have strengthened his position as a sought-after contemporary abstract artist, known for powerful, large-format works that transform the spaces they inhabit.
What defines Simon’s practice is the feeling his paintings generate. These are not static images, but environments - moments of colour and atmosphere captured in motion. Each piece invites the viewer to pause, breathe and experience abstraction as something deeply human, shaped by emotion, movement and light.
