Biography

John Kingerlee was born in Birmingham in 1936. He had famly connections to county Cork through his mother's side of the family and in 1982, after twenty years living in Cornwall, he relocated to the Beara Peninsula in West Cork where he resides today. His home in West Cork looks out across Kenmare bay to the Ring of Kerry. His work has been deeply influenced by this environment. Kingerlee has a idiosyncratic approach to 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, John 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.
