James Keniston explores the possibilities of painting through a variety of subjects as starting points such as human and animal forms, landscape and architecture.
Not always in one particular ‘style’ but an ongoing progression.  Creating smaller ‘bodies’ of work, which show the development of ideas and pre-occupations at a given time. 
Conveying line, form, shape and colour as well as the development of technical and material processes.
