About Ken Garrett

Capturing atmosphere is the main endeavour of my works executed in oils, acrylic, and watercolours in impressionist and abstract applications showing influences of Turner, Monet, Rodin, da Vinci, Piranesi and Sir William Russell Flint.

Painting is a creative process of the mind as is music, and the emotive effects and creativity of classical musicians Albanoni, Vivaldi, Bruch, and jazz musicians Lee Retinour, Chet Baker, Sonny Stitt and more have influenced my way of thinking and led me to extemporizing and capturing mood and atmosphere which I believe are more important than merely capturing a photo realism image.

Landscapes, seascapes, cityscapes, architecture, buildings, structures and construction sites are my main themes in impressionist and abstract forms that are immediately identifiable as paintings.
