The Big Smoke

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 big cities, creates his monumental artworks with a spontaneous energy and fluidity that allows him to mimic the primal beauty of London. Rather than a still moment in time, Kenton tries to capture a sequence of movements in his cityscapes.

Painted with a spontaneous and impressionistic approach, the warm London skyline scene is simultaneously full of colour and darkness. Using sharp, small, and colourful accents, the artist has brought London to life, captures the majestic city of London, illuminated by glowing lights in a myriad of colours. An energetic kaleidoscope of colour, light and movement, this piece’s ability to make a statement is unmatched, allowing collectors to have a hypnotising escape in their house.

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