Paul Brent

Paul Brent was one of my first inspirations to explore Cityscape art. This led me to the analysis and recreation of his work. In the artist reference section of my project I explored a selection of 3 of Paul Brent's Cityscape exhibition.

Firstly the 'Green Cityscape' which I recreated using inks in the background and a fine liner marker pen with a cross hatched technique for the buildings.

Second, the 'Amber Cityscape' which I recreated still using the cross hatched fine liner effect however for the background I painted orange acrylic over white emulsion to give it a glossier look to contrast with the plain dull ink on the 'Green Cityscape'. Also instead of using paper I chose cardboard which created a very interesting texture to compliment the background.

Finally, the 'Red Cityscape' which I recreated by printing an etching using a plastic etching plate and oil based ink. This was kept simple in both Cityscape and background to contrast with the more eye-catching two pieces in the trio. Therefore the etching was printed onto plain red sugar paper.
