Join us for an evening with Newcastle based photographer, Paul Kenny.
Born in 1951 and educated in Salford, Northwest England, Paul Kenny completed his Fine Art Degree at Newcastle upon Tyne in 1975.
Paul lived and worked close to the sea in rural Northumberland for 35 years.
He has travelled to work in Japan, France and Ireland but the main focus in developing his unique vision were the remote beaches of Wester Ross in north-west Scotland and the Western fringes of the outlying Islands.
Four years ago he moved back into inner city Newcastle upon Tyne.
In 2000 Paul was made a Fellow of the Ballinglen Arts Foundation and now spends time annually at their facility in North West Mayo, Eire.
In 2010 he took a conscious “year out” from the seashore and focussed his attention to his garden and the hedgerows around his home. The results was the hugely successful solo show, O Hanami, which was held London in 2012.
Paul has work in major public and private collections including the V&A, Deutsche Bank, Goldman Sachs, the National Photography Collection, Bradford and the National Gallery of Scotland.
