Kathleen King - Statement

East Bay artist Kathleen King creates paintings and painted objects. The artist corresponds in earnest empathy with materials found in urban streets, building sites and dumpsters, decorating them with calligraphic gesture and blunt geometry derived from vernacular culture and the vocabulary of abstraction. The work makes a poetic connection to everyday experience and the process of life production as contained in life itself.

Kathleen King was born in Oakland, CA and has a BA in Art from UC Berkeley. Her work has been exhibited locally at Pro Arts, Hang Gallery, and 66 Balmy and is represented in numerous private collections.
