"I'm curious all the time,” says King. In a recent conversation with American artist Clinton King, revealed his insatiable desire for exploration and discovery. Known for his diverse artistic practices spanning painting, sculpture, and video, he is a curious soul armed with enthusiasm for the boundless possibilities that lie within the realm of creating on flat surfaces.
He quotes Friedrich Nietzche’s, “We have art in order not to die of the truth,” highlighting his belief that art serves as an extension of our realities. Examining King’s extensive body of work, transformation emerges as his preferred medium. His paintings encompass a diverse range of imagery, simultaneously open and uniquely singular in their expression. King’s artistic approach embraces a minimalist philosophy, yet yields elaborate and maximalist effects.
