“Simply Sea Islands — the every day of island life”

The simple expression of day-to-day life in the Sea Islands is captured in vivid color by John Kenney. His wide range of subject, expression and bold use of color are characteristics of his work. Paul Edwards, a friend of Andy Warhol’s, was his mentor, and Kenney’s vision was strongly influenced by pop culture and the industrial cityscape of his native Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Living in the Lowcountry has been transforming for Kenney as he works to capture the magic of this special place of the South. This show, entitled “Simply Sea Islands,” captures our life here – the water, the landscape, the people and the places of our Lowcountry home.
