JOHN KINSELLA
OIL PAINTINGS
Landscapes of Southern Ontario
‘My paintings and poems are a personal meditation on the beauty and restorative power found in the natural settings of my home province, Ontario. Their images linger in my mind’s eye and have become intertwined with who I am. As Shakespeare so aptly put it, “All the world’s a stage…” and the landscape of Southern Ontario is the stage on which I and all those who live here play out our lives”.
JOHN KINSELLA is a painter born in Hamilton, Ontario. He studied Art and Art History at McMaster University (1982-1987), and fine art in the Val de Loire, France in 1985. Kinsella’s work has been featured in many solo and group exhibitions in Algonquin Park, Hamilton, Dundas. Grimsby, Owen Sound, Toronto and Barcelona Spain. He was a founding member of the painting group the Contemporaries, which exhibited extensively during the 1980’s and early 1990’s.
