‘Chrysler Splendour’ captures the essence of a rainy Manhattan scene at dusk. This 8-foot artwork bathes the iconic cityscape in warm, bronze, and golden hues. Paul’s use of the ‘Impasto’ technique breathe life into the scene. ‘Impasto’, where the paint is applied to create a pronounced three-dimensional texture on the artwork, imbues this piece with a sense of physicality and presence.

Silhouetted figures stroll under umbrellas, while yellow taxis pass them by. Skyscrapers, adorned with silver, copper and gold metallic paint, mirror their real-life counterparts. Even the tree leaves in the foreground shimmer with metallics, enhancing the luxuriant feel of the painting. The wet road becomes a reflective canvas, echoing the entire cityscape. Size amplifies the impact, making this impressionistic work an unique testament to Manhattan’s grandeur.
