About the exhibition
Urban Echoes brings together Kenton's newest paintings of London, New York and beyond, alongside highlights from his broader practice. Many works will be shown publicly for the first time — forming one of the most ambitious and varied collections of his career to date.
The exhibition spans large-scale city scenes, more intimate studies, and works on aluminium, canvas and paper, as well as limited edition prints across a range of scales and price points.
A centrepiece installation lets visitors watch a large-scale painting come to life on screen, surrounded by Kenton's studio tools and materials — bringing the energy and rhythm of his process directly into the gallery.
About the work
Kenton's paintings are built through an instinctive, physical process — throwing, dripping and scraping layers of oil and acrylic across aluminium, canvas and wood. From that initial chaos, vivid impressionistic cityscapes emerge. His work captures the restless energy of cities, making rigid urban structures feel alive with colour, movement and light.
About the venue
The Bomb Factory Art Foundation offers 6,000 sqft of open-plan industrial gallery space — high ceilings, exposed concrete floors, expansive white walls and large street-facing windows. Its raw character provides a striking counterpoint to the colour and energy of Kenton's paintings.
This exhibition will be an immersive experience of sight and sound, showcasing artworks never seen before. The Bomb Factory is exactly the kind of space I want my work to live in - raw, industrial, and full of energy.
