In this beautiful signed oil on aluminium original, the setting sunbathes the domes of St Mark's Basilica in a glowing light, which reflects gently on the water below. The contrast between the warm coloured buildings and the blue of the canal water, creates a perfect balance between tones in an incredible representation of light, which has always been a key medium for the artist’s breath-taking landscapes.
“I am fascinated by Venice at golden hour, particularly how the warm light bounces between buildings and the canal waters, giving a sense of awe and tranquillity” the artist told us.
In this new collection, Kenton’s showcasing some of the most iconic cityscapes notorious for their vibrant atmospheres and unique architecture: London, New York, Venice, and Tokyo. As a running theme through Paul’s paintings, he has used light source as his main inspiration to capture a combination of romantic and lively atmospheres, through his style of impressionist painting.
Painted on metal, the artist uses oil paint that can go up to 20 layers. Kenton leaves some of the metal exposed which gives another dimension to light, allowing it to reflect surrounding surfaces. All the light is emphasised from the darkness, creating a beautiful strong contrast.
