Studio Nine will present a new exhibition by Andrew Kenny titled 'Felt'. The show comprises of paintings, installation and video work. Kenny's work is a response to a number of paranormal and fortean related phenomena particularly the idea of thoughtography. Thoughtography or Nensha is the process of willing an image into existance in this case onto undeveloped Polaroid film. This idea is his main focus for this show and can be seen in his approach in his paintings, which are large portraits painted on roof felt. These paintings mimic the process of developing Polaroid film and in turn explore the idea of what an image pertains to be. Kenny's video and installation work also explores these ideas.
Andrew Kenny graduated from the Wexford School of Art with a BA (Hons) in Fine Art in 2008 having previously studied for three years at the Gorey School of Art. Since graduating he has undertaken show nationwide and has done extensive research in various paranormal phenomena including spirit photography, Thoughtography, ESP, telepathy, out of body experiences etc and produced experimental works which has led to this new body of work - Felt.
The exhibition will open on Thursday 7th Februrary at 7.30pm at Studio Nine, Unit 9, Westgate, Wexford. It will run untill February 23rd, opening Thurs, Fri, Sat and Sun, 12.30 – 5.00pm thereafter.
