“Kerton’s paintings are many-faceted: they are animist and they are exaggerated, icon-like; they are hilarious and they are poignant, filled with tenderness for the people and the situations depicted. They are about water and grain, people and animals, hard work and joyous laughter. They are about times shared and times alone- human beings in society and with nature. His paintings are suffused with a quality of intimate, nostalgic involvement combined with the more distant perspective of the outsider. They speak simultaneously about life in Indonesia, which gives them their sharpness and their humor, and about human life everywhere, which gives them the power of universal communication.”
