ARTIST’S BIOGRAPHY Kenton Long is an award-winning emerging artist living in Scottsdale,
Arizona. Kenton is a full-time artist, husband, and at-home father. The seeds of impressionism and post-impressionism were planted in high school. Over the years, Kenton studied photography, graphic art, pen and ink drawing, and watercolor. However, in his mid-30s, Kenton was exposed again to the masterpieces of impressionism and post-impressionism. Kenton returned to oil and canvas with a new devotion driven by a new vision. “Life is all about relationships,” Kenton explains. “I observe relationships as a dance of dualisms: masculine and feminine, action and reaction, East and West, secular and spiritual, etc. Observing this balancing act is my constant preoccupation; creating harmony in these relationships is my artistic passion. “Fascinated by life’s infinite dualisms, I am compelled to reconcile my love for both impressionism and post-impressionism. Two dynamic eras, the later a violent rejection of the former. A great discord upon which I cannot resist creating harmony. To this end, I juxtapose canvas plane with depth, realism with abstraction, structure with atmosphere, and geometric line with modeling. I embrace both impressionism and post-impressionism and find, not discord, but an exciting new vision, fresh, unique and individual.”
