Ken Kiff-- Fantasy is a way of thinking about reality
The images of real streets, houses, trees, animals and people are composed of fantastic encounters and events in a way that attracts the audience into the inner world, constantly taking the outer world as the theme.
Ken Kiff, May 29, 1935-February 15, 2001. British painter, born in Dagenham, Dagenham.
His belief in the value of modernist painting, his deep respect for artists such as Klee, Miró or Marc Chagall, and his views on painting often contradicted the prevailing assumptions at the time.
In contemporary debates about abstraction and image, he tends to cross the front: "color thinking" rather than "imaging thinking", the opposition between image form and concrete meaning, in order to get something from the difference on the surface.
His profound personal knowledge of poetry and music gave him a deep understanding of the structure of painting.
He looks at colors from the perspective of images, and images from the perspective of colors. In his view, this constitutes the "natural complexity of painting."
