A maze is a complicated and confusing system of connected passages, which Kenton equates to life. "My art depicts struggle, happiness, and power through layered painting in maze imagery. I believe that each path has a maze, and no matter how difficult, the maze can be conquered. My goal is to create work that integrates representation of different cultures and has the ability to touch everyone," explained the artist.



Kenton is known for his unique paintings and art merchandise, his style is influenced by pop culture, fashion, music and the iconography of the modern popular culture transmitted through mass media and aimed particularly at younger people.


'Read Between The Lines', Oil and Acrylic on Canvas, 36 x 36 Inches. 

"Maze" exhibits his work in Chicago, New York, Las Vegas and Miami. He plans to branch out into additional markets this year, expanding his reach and collector-base. The artist has shown his work during Miami Art Week and plans to have his art showcased again during Art Basel Miami Week 2019.
