Our favorite Renaissance Man is coming home! We are stoked to announce the return of Pk. Kanto (.kanto) at Oblivion Cinema & Arts this summer. Join us on June 6, 2026 from 4:00 P.M. - 7:00 P.M. for the official gallery opening of Kanto’s corner solo-show and put art and the artist in conversation at this free community gathering and meet-and-greet.

We’ll be gathering in style to celebrate Kanto, the first artist to ever sell a piece at Oblivion, so dress as your truest self, bring your skateboard if you please, and be prepared to take part in a ballpoint pen draw-off. Original works will be available purchase and will remain on display for two weeks following the gallery opening. Read Kanto’s bio below to learn more about the man, his makings, and his creations, and be sure to follow along with Pk. Kanto’s platforms (Linktree available his bio) and explore his paintings, illustrations, and music. We can’t wait to see you there!

Pk. Kanto, born Ronald Smith, is a versatile multimedia artist whose work spans painting, digital art, and music. With a passion for blending traditional technique with innovative digital practices, Pk. Kanto creates immersive, dynamic pieces that explore the intersection of visual art and sound. Each work tells a unique story, inviting audiences to experience both the visual and auditory dimensions of creativity.

Pk. Kanto’s art is rooted in ambition and the freedom that comes with being creative and bringing people into the worlds he creates. His distinctive style is characterized by the many worlds from which he draws inspiration, including, but not limited to, skateboarding, hip-hop, anime, and the one we all wake up to every day. Whether working with canvas, pixels, or sound, he embraces the power of experimentation and the endless possibilities of mixed media. Through his work, he aims to inspire others to work hard, be relentless in pursuing their dreams, and do so on their own terms—taking care to remain outside the box and unique.

Bennett is a talented guy.

Bennett takes cool pictures.

Bennett didn’t take this picture, though. Bennett may be talented, but he can’t model and capture the moment at the same time-a man can’t be in two places at once.
What Bennett can do is paint. Bennett can paint very well, and he can teach you how to paint very well too.

Join us this Saturday, May 30, 2026 at 3:00 P.M.
for another round of Oil Painting with Bennett Ritchie.
No registration is required for this gathering priced at $35
per patron—

Bennett will see you there.
