Paul Kenton (born 1968) is a British contemporary landscape artist, renowned for his cityscape and seascape paintings.[1][2] His work is characterized by its impressionistic style, vibrant color palette, and dynamic brushstrokes, capturing the energy and essence of urban environments as well as the tranquility of coastal scenes.[3]
Career
[edit]Kenton initially explored various artistic styles, experimenting with abstract forms and different mediums. However, he eventually found his niche in landscape painting, with a particular focus on urban cityscapes and seascapes. His early works drew inspiration from the bustling streets of London and New York, capturing the movement and vibrancy of these iconic cities.[1]
Kenton's style is often described as a blend of impressionism and expressionism. He uses a variety of techniques, including palette knives and brushes, to create layers of texture and depth. His paintings are known for their fluidity, with sweeping lines and bold colors that convey a sense of motion and atmosphere.[3]
Major themes and works
[edit]Kenton's portfolio includes a range of subjects, from the iconic skylines of New York, London, and Paris to the serene and often dramatic coastlines of Cornwall and Devon.[4][5] His cityscapes frequently depict scenes of rain-soaked streets, bustling traffic, and illuminated buildings, capturing the energy of urban life. In contrast, his seascapes focus on the interplay between light and water, often portraying the calmness of the sea or the raw power of crashing waves.[6][7][8]
