Autumn Leaves

Beautifully painted onto canvas and framed in stylish black, this large scale glowing painting by Paul Kenton gorgeously captures a woodland scene in great depth with the way that the artist uses his brushstrokes.

Paul's unique painterly style, where he is able to convey the energy of the scene in his bold strokes, places him within the wider history of Modern Art and Impressionism. Challenging the realism of 16th century Renaissance artists, impressionist painters like Vincent Van Gogh and Claude Monet intended to capture the beauty of fleeting moments, shimmering lights and first impressions of a scene.

In the same way that Monet used small strokes of oil paint to capture the smoky interiors of Paris' railway station, Paul Kenton uses bold and abstract lines of paint to capture shadows and texture.
