Brenton Ken has depicted kulata (spears), tjutjnypa (short hiting and throwing club) and kali (boomerang)- important hunting instruments used by men.​

At the time of writing this biography Brenton was unable to say the name of his birth place because men’s business had recently been held there. Knowledge of men’s business is not public information. As a child he went to school at the Ernabella Mission (Pukatja). Then as a young man he trained and worked as a carpenter. He worked as a stockman, did fencing at Mulga Park and Musgrave Park (now Amata). He helped build the boundary fence from Mulga Park to Alpara and rounded up the bullock (cattle) on horse. Brenton had never painted on canvas with acrylics before coming to Tjala Arts in February 2007​

He has been presented in major exhibitions as within the Hazelhurst Regional Gallery and Art Centre, in 2016 at Sydney – Nganampa Kililpil: Our Stars. And in 2015 at the Art Gallery of Western Australia, for the Western Australian Indigenous Art Award 2015.
