Landscape painter and teacher, born in London, who painted oils of Dartmoor, the rocky drops to the sea of the southwest coastline, beaches and the Welsh hills. Ken Fernée was especially fond of landscape where its basic structure appears through the delicate and vulnerable surface. He took part in a mixed show with Anthony Barson and Jack Wright at the AIA in 1956; in mixed shows at John Whibley Gallery, its Three Painters Group in 1969 and had a solo show there in 1971, when he was head of art in a Devon comprehensive school; also having a one-man at The Hambledon Gallery, Blandford, in 1980. The painter Alan Cotton, an admirer of Fernée’s work, helped organise a memorial show at the University of Exeter in 1984, the year that the University acquired an oil on board, entitled Dartmoor, Stone Row.
