METROPOLITAN B Y PA U L K E N T O N
Paul Kenton’s latest collection affirms his reputation as the master of the modern cityscape. Like the vast, sprawling metropolis depicted in his paintings, Kenton’s confident oeuvre is constantly evolving yet its unique character - abuzz with a rich and satisfying tapestry of city life - is unmistakable. Over the years, we’ve seen Kenton hone and develop the impressionistic feel of his art – whilst sometimes his subject matter can verge into the abstract, the accurate depiction of light has always been at the heart of Kenton’s creations. Like the impressionist painters before him, Kenton strives for his paintings to create a mood, evoke a feeling or reflect a myriad of emotions; with free shapes, mixed media, dripped l i n e s a n d c o l o u r. K e n t o n ’ s t e c h n i q u e i s e x t r e m e l y f r e e and unplanned, forgoing sketching and planning in favour of the immediacy of diving into the heart of the painting.
Deftly guided by Kenton’s extraordinary observations, compelling brushstrokes and pioneering artistic talent, this new collection continues to not only define a new genre of contemporary cityscape art, but contributes to the artistic legacy of the world’s most remarkable cities. “I love to capture the mood and spirit of a scene, adding layers of depth and expression which just can’t be captured in a straight pictorial study, almost like a short film, or series of photos which capture as much detail of a scene as possible. The sights, sounds, movement, light, tastes, and even smells which combine to create the big picture, this is what I’m looking for, and what I strive to achieve within my work.” - Paul Kenton
