Neons Of New York

Although this cityscape depicts night, the streets of New York are ablaze with a riot of fluorescent colours and sparkling lights in this original painting by Paul Kenton. He invites the viewer to bask in the glowing, streaming lights of New York 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.
