For a couple of years has
Kenneth-Edward Swinscoe concentrated his oil
painting with the reduction of the colours to
black white contrasts to which he adds a few
specific coloured accents. In his graphic
appearing and often surrealistic artworks he
plays with the perspective. Playfully he works
with this and a specific use of light and shade
contrasts. He lets the three aspects of
symbolism and mysticism flow into is works, to
which he adds a defamiliarization of the
contours.
"I would
like to cause a spatial depth in my works, which
plays with the apparent three-dimensional
effects. The gaze of the observer shall be first
drawn to the middle of the picture and only
later to expand to the outer areas of the work.
Not only
the apparent surreal three-dimensionality room
is made on the canvas, but also portraits of
famous personalities and "people from the
neighbourhood" It is the photo realism with
every last little detail which draws the
observer of these pictures into his spell.
