Kenneth A Head

A painter in Watercolour, Oil and Acrylic, Ken received training at Twickenham Technical Art College during the fifties, having shown a natural ability since childhood: after which he began a career as a Graphic Artist in central London. He is an expert airbrush artist and, before the advent of computer-simulated airbrush effects, produced a good proportion of finished artwork for colour-gradated designs used in commercial packaging, such as Benson & Hedges Superkings, Gillette, Johnnie Walker, Typhoo, Dunhill and many others.

Ken's main interest in Fine Art is 'architectural landscape' working on site wherever possible. The effects of light and shade are very important to him and in his Mediterranean subjects, he always attempts to convey the feeling of heat.

He is a member of The Croydon Art Society, the Cantium Group and The South East London Art Group and has held several one-man exhibitions at Colchester, Croydon, Bromley, Norwood and Sutton. His works hang in several galleries in the South East.

Ken was commissioned to contribute illustrations for a SEGAS calendar featuring English Public Houses and on several occasions has painted stage backcloths for amateur productions both in London and at the Edinburgh Festival, ranging from Shakespeare to light opera. As part of the Croydon/Arnhem link celebrations, the Town Hall in Arnhem, Holland was presented with one of his paintings - depicting the Fairfield Halls, which is now on permanent display.
