“'Although
Lampscapes began with the production of a lamp base, the excitement
began the first time I painted a shade. The
idea of light behind a painted landscape offers continuous inspiration
for me. I have used oil and acrylic on styrene, vinyl and all
types of paper. My latest interest is painting on hand-made
paper.”
Subjects
range from simple design to complete landscapes. Ken often
paints the shade outside, on-site and is influenced by the
work of masters including Matisse, Sisley, and Cezanne. Decorative
images include flowers, fruit and geometric designs. |
Ken
has created desk and floor lamps in striking designs using
contemporary materials such as bronze, steel, and soapstone.
The Connecticut River lamp base consists of a
bronze base with a tapered steel shaft.
Its simplicity compliments the painted shades. Lampscapes
produces a variety of designs
including four table lamps, two bridge lamps and four floor
lamps.
