About this artwork
One of an on-going series of paintings dealing with the Battle of Stalingrad and the notion of "History Painting". Here, the 'tank slit' view is of troops advancing through the snow towards Stalingrad; their advance was crippled by their inadequate summer uniforms, the hobnails in their boots which transmitted the cold, and the lack of fat in their diet; The overall brushstroke/texture is in part inspired by Jacques Louis David's great history painting… "The Death of Marat", where the background fills much of the canvas but is painted in such a way as to maintain its neutrality - it sets off the historical event depicted without intruding too much, and yet it is quite abstract in handling; and in part the contemporaneous (to Stalingrad) monochrome work of Manzoni, Castellani and Klein. First exhibited at the Brahm Gallery Leeds and later at the "Threats & Containments" exhibition (Byam Shaw Art Gallery London), with CorneliaParker, Tim Head et al.
Kenneth Hay is an accomplished visual artist working across painting, photography, drawing, printmaking, sculpture and digital media, with a richly academic and international background. Ex-Head of Fine Art at the University of Leeds UK and Professor of Aesthetics, Brno, he trained in Leeds, The Accademia in Florence and the University of Wales. As a writer, he publishes widely on art and aesthetics. With Seetha A, he formed Moorland Productions creative collaboration and together they produce joint work, projects and exhibitions. As artists, their work is grounded in figurative traditions but fluidly traverses abstraction, conceptual series, and diverse historical and cultural styles, choosing each medium and visual language to suit specific themes. Their artworks are layered with intellectual rigour and formal beauty, conveying a thoughtful dialectic between content and form, and evoking both curiosity and deep emotional resonance in viewers willing to engage with their complexity.
