Kenny creates a cacophony of words and images that cause the viewer to stop and consider, to think and question. Kenny's work is an emotional response to what is going on in the world. His work reminds us that in age when we are inundated with information it is often difficult to find the truth.
"Carrying a Diana helps me see the world differently, forcing me to focus on compositional elements, light source, and the relationship between subject and background. The vignetting and aberrations caused by the plastic lens have the ability to give photographs shot through it a timeless and dreamlike feel, and I tend to seek out images and scenes that will be emphasized by this. When I shoot with the Diana, rarely is my goal to tell an entire story through one image, but rather to capture an instant in the middle of a tale told in a world that exists only in the grain of the film."
Michael Sprouse
Sprouse's contemporary art is at once compelling, passionate and emotive. His canvasses offer a modern mix of elements steeped in the past seamlessly working together to offer a variety of unique styles all sharing the common thread of his individualistic vision, painterly characteristics, and undeniable talent.
