Kenton Nelson, American painter

Kenton Nelson (b. 1954) is an American painter. Also a muralist, a watercolorist, a mosaics maker (look at this splendid bag/coat/hands).

You’ll find plenty of other paintings and watercolors on the web.

I’m intrigued because I feel like multiple quiet conflicts in his work : nostalgia, precision, maybe, from his characters, a little hidden desire to live, to pull themselves out of this… clean quietness (am I imagining that?). But it’s never weird, it’s more like a… will to breathe another air. It’s very subtle!

Have a nice day!
