Request Artwork - Magnetic Metropolis
With vibrant abstract and impressionist influences, metropolitan living is at the centre of Paul Kenton’s dynamic new collection. The new artworks spotlight the unmistakeable markers of New York and London in Kenton’s distinctive style.
Guided by his love of global adventure, exploration and discovery, ‘Magnetic Metropolis’ is a direct recreation of an inspiration moment Kenton experienced when travelling. Drawing in the eye to a prominent figure, in this case that an architectural landmark, the artist immerses the viewer amongst those in the scene; we become part of the landscape.
The original artwork was painted on sheets of brass and by leaving parts of the brass exposed, Kenton has been able to pull through warm, orange tones to replicate the precious golden hour.
Through his use of rich colours and raw textures, Kenton captures the contemporary allure yet underlying intensity of urban life, implying the sounds, smells and atmosphere that surround the scene.
Light is one of the most striking influences for Kenton in these moments and he tries to accurately capture this element in his art, saying, “When I paint, I am always thinking about the light and how it interacts with the buildings.” Characteristic of his cityscapes, the artist uses contrast in light to capture the energetic pulse and pace of these bustling metropolises.
This artwork is a Hand-signed Giclée on Aluminium with Hand Embellishment by Paul Kenton and it's also available in a set of four. Find out more about this collection here or alternatively shop more Kenton art here.

THE FINER DETAILS

The artwork is hand-signed by Paul Kenton.
Giclée on Aluminium with Hand Embellishment
Given Castle Fine Art's expertise as UK's leading art retailer, we are committed to the highest standards specially regarding printing. Derived from the French term gicler – meaning ‘to squirt or spray’, the term describes a printing process whereby microscopic dots of pigment-based ink are sprayed onto archival-quality paper to ensure the fidelity of a limited edition print to an original artwork.
The richness, accuracy and depth of colour is thanks to the method’s potential to achieve a huge colour gamut (the spectrum of colours distinguishable by the human eye). Unlike the four tones used in lithography, giclées often use five: light cyan, cyan, light magenta, yellow and black. It is believed that a giclée will significantly outlast a lithographic print, keeping its vivid colour for up to 200 years.

The artist
Paul Kenton
Paul Kenton is a UK-based contemporary artist, acclaimed for his cityscape paintings which capture the unique energy of cities across the world. Paul's paintings aim to transport the viewer, giving them a sense of the distinctive mood, pace and light of a scene, through layers of bold colour, dripped lines and gestural paint marks. Kenton is constantly exploring new ideas for paintings in his sketchbook, painting en plein air, drawing not only from cityscapes, but also from his fascination with motorsport, the sea and pop culture.
