Biography:

Ken Srong presents a definitive and unequivocal expression of his subjects, a very natural imagery often touched with the subtle presence of people. His art is much more than a simple illustration of selected scenery.

A diverse landscape provides the ideal flexibility to develop an approach towards creative composition. Ken has been painting Australian and international landscapes for over 40 years and has developed recognition both nationally and internationally for his work.

His approach is to combine the strength available in a range of media with a bold form and subtle subject. Whereas earlier works show a dominant influence from the Australian and European impressionist painters, there is now a greater emphasis on non-representational, even abstract form, incorporated within the compositions.

His works are characterized by a bold application of paint, but also using a subtle approach to subject development. His subjects range from panoramic landscapes to more intimate images, combining the influence of man and his surroundings.

Further focus is now including a greater fluidity of the medium, evolving into a freer overall atmosphere, and helping to remove the constraints of reality. The end result of this approach in composition and application stimulates the imagination and draws the viewer into his works.

He has written articles for several publications, including Australian Artist, International Artist, and Artists Palette magazines since 1994.

A free approach to artistic composition can bring to life even the most commonplace subject. Reality is only used as a guide. Metamorphosis of the subject takes place when the form, colors, and contrasts are combined with flexibility. This approach can be applied to any subject, and the range of possibilities is limitless.

Ken continues to exhibit his work widely. Opportunities arising through creative exploration with subjects, mediums, and techniques add a changing dimension to his work. For Ken, there is always an increased anticipation of the next phase of creativity.
