Anki King

Anki King grew up in a small village in Norway. After completing her arts education in Oslo, she moved to New York in 1994. She is featured in the documentary Artists in NYC, screening with PBS. Her process is organic and unplanned. She starts adding paint to a random sized canvas pinned to the wall and as she works, figures appear. The figures act as symbols for feelings that can’t accurately be described in words. Each figure stands still in readiness for a charged meeting with the viewer.
