Art in the form of painting began in 1990 and regardless of the final image is about the reinterpretation of original source material rather than photorealism.

Imagery from the real world is the inspirational source material for the paintings. Cantons paints using a mixture of traditional painterly techniques and more modern ones where the artist throws the paint at the canvas in a controlled manner.
