Artist Recognition
Artist featured in a collection
"Soaring Ballerina" is from a dance series of original paintings that I continually add to in various paint styles. For me, ballet and modern dance visually project the desire and spirited energy captive in all human beings that dancers can release for us to see and experience. Professional dancers use their love, relentless passion and skill to perfect their creative instrument - their exquisitely trained bodies - to "speak" to those of us who can listen. This particular dance image, as with all of my dancer paintings, comes from watching and admiring ballet and modern dancers for years. They are a special breed, who unfortunately - like most artists in our frenzied "supposedly" modern culture - are under appreciated. I hope to project their unique alive vitality in these captivating images. For this painting, Ken chose to use a combination of an abstract background, a special paint-mixture of his own and essential lines to convey the energy of life through dance.

Originally from Manhattan, New York, Ken lived for several decades around the U.S. and Western Europe, always pursuing his writing and painting interests. He now lives in the Southwestern U.S. that he refers to as, "A magic land of radiant light." One Los Angeles Weekly art critic noted about Ken's paintings, "This art continually displays a vital interplay of simplified lines interwoven in vibrant complementary colors. These combinations often create an emotional energy that deftly impacts viewers." Ken's preferred artistic focus shifts mainly - but not only - between abstract and expressionistic imagery. In one interview, he stated, "Painting more than writing centers me as a person, and that keeps me awake to vital elements surrounding me. In my studio, by minimizing daily distractions, at the best of times I capture the gifts of visual energy that depict love or anger, serenity or courage, compassion and freedom, most often with hope for all people. I cannot think of a better way to share living experiences."
