All Aboard

This electric cityscape depicts the streets of New York ablaze with a riot of fluorescent colours and sparkling lights. Paul Kenton invites the viewer to bask in the glowing, streaming lights captured by gleaming bare aluminium, bold dripped lines, and a vivid colour palette. 

Light has always been a key medium for Paul in his breath-taking landscapes; from lily ponds and mountain peaks, to bustling Parisian scenes and American avenues. This artwork forms part of Searching Light, a collection that celebrates the artist's extraordinary use of metal and light that bring two-dimensional artworks life. The metallic canvas of the artist's work has a transformative effect; in different lights, the paintings take on a new life – glowing one minute and shimmering the next.

“Light is everything: it creates form, shape and mood. I play with shadows to help create perspective, with the little areas of light drawing your eye into the piece.”- Paul Kenton.
