The large acrylic canvases of painter Ron Kempton (1970-) are filled with blocks of pure color against contrasting fields of a more subdued yet equally intense palette. Rich hues dominate his landscape oriented, action-filled abstract paintings, often generating what appears to be a light glowing from deep within the painting's surface.

Born in Colorado, Kempton received his education at the Rocky Mountain School of Design and devotes all of his time to painting, reading and traveling.

Kempton is widely exhibited and his painting are included in many prominent corporate collections including AT&T, Bank of Boulder, Cellular One, Century Bank, Citicorp, Hilton Hotels, Hyatt Hotels, IBM, Liberty Mutual, Marriott Hotels, Omni Bank, Optioncare, Inc., SRTI, Inc., US West, United Airlines and Xerox.
