This artist spotlight features William “Bill” Kinnear. Bill is a Boston Artist living and working at his Beacon Hill Studio. He has been affiliated with Open Door Arts and our galleries for more than 20 years.
Bill’s 2019-2021 painting series was inspired by the stress of COVID-19 and the calming effect of Tai Chi symbolism. The Mythical Female Warriors are Bill’s original surrealist dreamscapes/geometric composition, painted in India Ink/Acrylic on stretched framed canvas. Composing and painting these intricately detailed pieces is time intensive.
Bill plans on doing a 4th painting series soon superimposing the triangle encompassing the Thai Chi symbol to commend his 47th year in Alcoholism Recovery.
Good luck and best wishes my friend. I’m so proud of the work you have accomplished over the years.
Wow! Bill! Amazing display! I know how long and how hard you worked on this show. So happy to see you recognized for your talent and creativity. Your use
Of color arrests attention and enhances the themes. Well done!
This display is representative of the artist’s perception of Covid-19 and its impact. His use of color enhances the theme and engages the viewers’ emotions. The project depended upon careful planning which resulted in an amazing show. Well done, Bill!
