Alex McKenna Balbriggan Harbour - Oil on Board
Alex
McKenna was born in North County Dublin but has taken the rural life of the
West of Ireland as his main theme. McKenna's paintings are always based on his
own experiences and his work reflect man's relationship with nature, whether it
is in harmony or in conflict.
McKenna has a deep love of land, sea and
wilderness, and in particular, the labour of men on land and at sea. This
personal affiliation may be due to his family background and heredity. McKenna's
grandfather and great-grandfather were both boatsmen; McKenna himself worked on
boats and also worked farming the land - digging potatoes, making hay and
cutting turf. It is boat and land labourers like himself that are featured in
many of his landscapes.
McKenna's
works can be described as Impressionistic and indeed the artist himself names
the French Impressionists as his main influence and above all Camille Pissarro.
He is also inspired by the Irish artist Paul Henry and his views of the West of
Ireland, which McKenna vividly recalls seeing in the G.N.R posters which
adorned Irish railway stations during the 1950's. The gentle brushstrokes and
lively composition demonstated by Irish artist
Maurice MacGonigal has also been assimilated into McKenna's works.
These
influences combined with McKenna's love for the rural West and his experience
as a labourer on both land and sea help to create captivating landscapes bathed
in light; a light which diffuses the canvas through his use of impressionistic
brushstrokes and golden tones, which contrast dramatically with the reds and
blues that also dominate his palette. In his works, the figures are often as
important as the landscape and he gives each figure an individual personality
through a certain stance or gesture.
