Chasing The Sun

A Large-Scale Mixed Media on Canvas Original by Paul Kenton.

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 New York city hustle, creates his monumental artworks with a spontaneous energy and fluidity that allows him to mimic the primal beauty of the electric city. Rather than a still moment in time, Kenton tries to capture a sequence of movements in his cityscapes. “Chasing the Sun” captures the awe of the sunset, which soaks the New York vibrant skyline in an intense warm light that bounces between the city streets and the skyscrapers.

Painted with bold, thick marks and splashes of paint, the piece has significant texture and movement adding to the fast-paced atmosphere the city is known for. Bright yellow taxis hurtling towards distant red skyscrapers guide the eye into the centre of the energetic painting. 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.
