Kenneth O'Neil

The Fall, 2000
My goal is to paint images that can exist in two worlds, the ancient and the modern. What leads me to this path is my fascination for the art of those who have gone before me, including those who used cave walls for their canvas; a woven textile filled with symbology; petroglyphs and pictographs; finely textured and structured stone walls and statues. Maybe theirs was an adventure into an unknown world also. Did they take risks? One thing they seemed to have in common was the simple expression of a complex thought. I feel a kinship with them.
