Ron Kempton

The abstract paintings of Ron Kempton are as varied in texture as they are in style and design. Using acrylic as his favored medium, Kempton's body of work ranges from large, action-field canvases to bold, abstract geometric designs. The artist's large, action-field canvases are the ultimate in contemporary, ranging from deep, seductive hues to vibrant gem-like colors. These abstract designs often generate what appears to be a light growing from deep within the painting's surface. Kempton's geometric series is equally impressive, varying from robust earth shades to brilliant, bold tones. The artist uses blocks of pure color against contrasting fields to create a uniquely intense palette.
