Monumental art has moved audiences for thousands of years, conveying powerful emotions and depicting incredible stories and awe-inspiring forces of nature. In the breath-taking bodies of original work, the internationally acclaimed artist has painted on a larger scale than ever before, from majestic seascapes and calming landscapes to electric cityscapes.

Much like the unpredictability of the big cities, Paul Kenton creates his monumental artworks with a spontaneous energy and fluidity that allows him to mimic its primal beauty. Rather than a still moment in time, Kenton tries to capture a sequence of movements in his cityscapes. In “Last Rays Over Venice”, light and colour appears to bounce between the water, houses and gondola to create a romantically secluded scene full of texture and movement.

With the city and the Venice canals bathed in warm golden light, this painting captures a moment of calm and serenity in the busyness of such a big city. With a soft tonal palette and touches of metallic paint to emphasise the shimmering quality of the sunset, the artist created a mesmerising piece. The piece’s ability to make a statement is unmatched, allowing collectors to have a hypnotising escape in their house.

This original is a Mixed Media on Canvas - a combination of oil and acrylic.
