Greetings art lovers and fans! Time is just flying by and the paint and concrete have been flying as well in King Studios! I have been getting a lot of questions about my new work and I’m pleased to announce that at the November 2nd Friday Open Studio night at the Creative Arts and Event Center –  I will indeed have some new work to share with you in Studio 8! I’m also excited to share with you that my Juarez Painting Series will be on display in the J. Ward Walker room – all hanging together for the first time ever! If you have a chance to come out to the event I would love to see everyone and chat about my new work. Click HERE for directions. As usual you will be able to find me hanging about Studio 8 on the 2nd floor, as all the Artists Upstairs Studio Artists will have the welcome mats out for you. It promises to be a fun night of music, wine and of course ART. For some insight and more discussion about my work, be sure to scroll down and check out the November installment of the WHBU Cagney King Artist in Residence Radio Show.
Picture
I have received several e-mails about the picture featured on the November E-mail flyer. It is a detail from my ‘Fibonacci 42’ mixed media painting. Mixed media including but not limited to concrete, tempera, graphite, acrylic, collage, and oil paint. But of course the only way to really enjoy it is in person, and you guessed it, I will have it hanging in Studio 8 for you to spend some quality time with. You can also read a little more about the background of the painting HERE in my journal. And you can visit the CURRENT page to see it as well.
Well…back to work! Lots to do before the Friday Night show. And remember, “when asked what to do with the weight of the world on his shoulders; Atlas merely shrugged.” And then I’m pretty sure he went to an art exhibit to help lift his spirits.
Until next time!
Rock on!
