Keep Posted for Digital Programming with the Artist.

Ken Webb studied at the Alberta College of Art in Calgary and attended the Royal College of Art in London, England for post-graduate studies. He has taught at the University of Calgary and is currently Professor Emeritus at Alberta University of the Arts.  Ken Webb has shown with John Ramsay Contemporary Art in Vancouver, Paul Kuhn Gallery in Calgary, Mira Goddard in Toronto and in numerous international exhibitions. Ken’s work has been published in “Hidden Values, Contemporary Canadian Art in Corporate Collections” (Robert Swain), “Printmaking in Alberta: 1945 – 1985” (Bente Roed Cochran) and “Sitelines, Printmaking and Image Culture” (Walter Jule) and "An Alberta Chronicle, Adventures in Recent and Contemporary Art" (Mary-Beth Laviolette). In 2002, Kenneth Webb received the Award of Excellence from the Alberta College of Art and Design.

Ken’s work combines printed photographic images, graphic elements, and the handmade painted object to create open narratives that are both mysterious and poetic. This exhibition features new work made during the past 5 years when the artist began to self-isolate for health reasons, long before Covid. This work is introspective and reflects the artist’s constant editing of images and personal motifs repeated throughout an artistic career that spans over 5  decades.
