In Manhattan Showers, pedestrians dash for shelter on a rainy afternoon in New York. The rain adds an extra glow to the Manhattan streets, which reflect the lights radiating from inside buildings. Glistening metallic paint gives the surface of the piece a beautiful sheen, when it catches the light. Paul paints with fluid brushstrokes and finishes with his dripping technique, to further create the impression of rainfall and rapid movement. Using a limited palette, Paul adds hints of bold red to draw your eye into the piece.
You might also enjoy these other New York paintings from Paul's 365 Project. This was a year-long journey exploring a different range of mediums & working at sizes often smaller, than with his studio pieces. In many cases these formed the studies behind the larger studio works.
