Kim Kenyon finds her inspiration in the many shapes and patterns in nature. Small and inconspicuous parts of the plant world are intuitively enlarged to stately yet delicate steel sculptures. Rhythm and liveliness are important themes in Kim Kenyon’s work.
Born in 1988 in Lisbon, to Dutch and English parents. After a brief period of living in Hilversum (NL) and East London (UK), Kenyon’s family returned to Portugal where she grew up in the nature-rich hills of the Algarve. At the age of twenty Kenyon moved to the Netherlands to study Fine Art at Kunstacademie Minerva in Groningen. Graduating in 2013 Kim Kenyon continued her sculpture-making and has had her work shown in various sculpture gardens and art-galleries across the country.
Kim Kenyon works in an awesome shared metal-workshop space in Groningen. This space will soon close (2023) and Kim is looking for a new shared space to weld her sculptures. Any Ideas? Drop a message!
