Product Details
Artist Name: Kenneth Hershenson
Artist Bio: Kenneth Hershenson has been painting and drawing for 50 years having completed his first oil painting at age 12. He is a self-taught artist. Kenneth’s artistic approach is rooted in the twin disciplines of realism and illustration. Architectural design and illustration are the basis of much of his professional life, which included serving as an architectural designer with Disneyland and designing Japan stores for Starbucks while living in Seattle. He pursued his passion for art in his spare time while raising a family and working in various corporate jobs. He moved back to his home town of Detroit after 25 years in Washington state, in order to pursue a full time career as a fine artist. He started his “I DO Know Jack!” series of large acrylic paintings in late 2014 but the idea occurred 30 years prior. He worked on a list of possible “jack” paintings and created sketches over the course of those years. The first five paintings of the series were in the final Top 25 Public Vote (out of nearly 1,000 entries in the 2D Category) in ArtPrize 2015, the largest international art competition and exhibition. The first five paintings in “I DO Know Jack!” also captured the 4th Annual Michigan Great Artist Competition in December 2015 which is sponsored by Oakland County and Park West Gallery of Southfield,Michigan, the largest private art gallery in the world.
