Running December 6, 2025 - January 17, 2026, the exhibition Kenton Nelson / noun (noun), n. A person, place, thing or idea., can be viewed at Peter Mendenhall Gallery in Pasadena, California. The image of a classic desk lamp in a warm environment like an artist’s studio, evokes work and rest, play and chores, and good ol’ workhorses, like this dependable light. As ever, the artist uses light and shadow within the composition to create dynamic shapes, and stunning realism. The original painting is 12 × 12 inches, so the poster just about reproduces the scale of the original piece, Wall Switch.
12 × 12 inches
Image size 10.75 × 11 inches
Painting featured: Wall Switch, 2025
“People will often ask me what I paint, and after over 30 years, I realized that I paint nouns.”
