Biography
Ken Orton's work includes portraitures and landscapes. In recent years his landscape and still-life work has focused repeatedly on the disused and redundant, using dilapidated motels, rusting old cars and mothballed aircraft in his themes. He has traveled from Alcatraz to Block Island and uses his skills as a draughtsman and colourist in producing a body of unique and sensitive images, an Englishman's poignant vision of the lost toys of the American Dream.
