About the artist
Ken Blakemore
My art defies a single idea or style; it is a journey of constant evolution. Rooted in the power of imagination, my work aims to uplift viewers and transport them beyond the ordinary through energizing visual imagery.
Drawing from my studies, I challenge established concepts and explore diverse subjects using various painting techniques. This creative process unlocks a unique narrative, from large abstract expressionist canvases to intimate figurative studies.
Alongside the abstract work, my holiday and seasonal series capture the spirit of the year with the same attention to palette and balance, offering a contemporary approach to decorating a home without overwhelming it.

Typical ship time
In their words
The canvas changed the whole room. People walk in and stop talking for a second, which is exactly what I wanted.
Ken took a rough idea about colour and turned it into a piece that feels like it was always meant for that wall.
Packed beautifully, arrived early, and the print is somehow richer in person than on screen.
