Read more John Kingerlee was born in Birmingham, England in 1936. After living for twenty years in Cornwall, he moved in 1982 to an isolated farmhouse on the Beara Peninsula in West Cork. He found this place of rocks, seas and majestic skies where nothing is static, to be a source of continuous spiritual invigoration. Kingerlee's alternative outlook on life somehow seems to be in complete harmony both with the space he inhabits and with the art that flows from his palette knife and brush. He 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 artist's manipulation of linear and aerial perspective. Recognising that perspective itself is a mathematical construct. Kingerlee 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.
