Kaleidoscope

Like the Impressionist painters before him, Paul Kenton evokes moods and emotions with his colours, free shapes and dripped lines. In a collection that captures two of the most iconic cities in the world, he continues to define a new genre of cityscape art. This piece is taken from his London/New York series. 

Paul explains: “To create this painting of the bustling area of London’s Piccadilly Circus, I used many layers and scrapes of colour. I really enjoy the unpredictability of scraping paint across the metal, as you never quite know what incidental patterns and marks will be created, or how the colours will blend together. The numerous layers of vibrant paint reflect the spirit and vigour of the scene, and aim to make the viewer feel like they can almost hear the sounds pulsating across the city.”
