Dale Kennington

Dale Kennington

Dale Kennington is a Contemporary Artist working in the style of New American Realism. Her imagery is often of anonymous, passive individuals engaged in the banal, idle activities of everyday life: riding the subway, people watching or sitting at a bar. Kennington refers to these repetitive moments as rituals that contribute to the shared condition of humanity, ultimately elevating them to the status of myths. The settings of her paintings appear as sober theatrical stages into which anyone could recognize herself.

Kennington's work is included in numerous public and private collections including the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts, Montgomery, Alabama, the Columbus Museum of Art, Columbus, Georgia, the Wiregrass Museum of Art, Dothan, Alabama, and the Hilliard Museum at the University of Louisiana, Lafayette, Louisiana.

Background

Dale Kennington was born in Savannah, Georgia and has lived most of her life in Dothan, Alabama. She received a B.A. in Art History and Design in 1956 from the University of Alabama in Tuscaloosa, Alabama. In her early 40's she began painting portraits of children, moving to studio work in the mid-80's. She has received numerous accolades and awards for her work. In 2009 she was recognized by the Alabama State Council on the Arts and the Alabama Bureau of Tourism and Travel as one of Alabama's "Master Artists".
