Artist Statment/Shows

Ron King – Artist Statement and Shows

An old granary stands against the odds in the Palouse near Colfax, Washington. 

 

My art is a reflection of the unknown, the unexplored, and the unexpected. Through my unique process of Stratomorphic Rendering, I transform familiar images into something entirely different, bringing out hidden messages and creating a visual experience of the world as I see it.

I draw inspiration from surprises and look for hints in the images, seeking out unique perspectives and unexpected scenes. Good music, art, and conversation, as well as scientific discoveries, philosophers, and poets, all inspire my work. My technique involves exploring the possibilities of pareidolia in the image, capturing unique perspectives and utilizing Hancock Lines.

Each piece of art is a journey into the unknown, inviting viewers to see the world in a completely new way. 
Check out my bio to learn the inspiration behind my style.
