King refers to himself as a painter who regards his work as problem solving and a creative investigation rather than a direct representation or goal orientation. The resulting expressions becoming more abstract as the exploration excavates, and so deepens the observations, emotions and processes that feed his intuitive need to paint.
Working primarily on paper with acrylics affords King the freedom to work on several ideas simultaneously, bouncing from one execution to another, pulling ideas together and building a schema that starts a new adventure on canvas.
