It is a game that Kenton Nelson plays with us… a game that he masters perfectly.

“The more I saw of (his paintings), the more I was fascinated by the nature of the images, the motives and the form of presentation.”
— Thomas Renner, Obstacles and Competition
“Kenton Nelson’s work, which has appeared on several covers of The New Yorker, often depicts Americana that brings to mind 1930’s American scene painters, American Regionalists, and Mexican Muralists.”
— Cynthia Dea, “Scenes from American Life” The Los Angeles Times '“Critics Choice”
“Nelson’s paintings are a kick to look at. But like the short stories by Cheever and Fitzgerald, they are not about milk and honey.”
