Through a focus on hyperrealism, Kit King‘s paintings are reflections of the ephemeral visual relationships around her. Capturing fleeting moments that affect our emotional state from a singular glance, under the aegis of a heightened sense of reality.
Her current bodies of work are heavily focused on light and shadow, and how the element of light can alter the relationship of a viewer and subject. The goal being to propel the audience to connect to one transient moment, captured through mood, established from the control of light and shadow.
Kit does not merely want to meticulously capture an image, but rather breathe a vital life force into transformed renditions of the world around her. “I want my pieces to evoke a deep sense of emotion influenced not only from an in-depth tangibility executed through a high level of detail, but married with a sincere passionate portrayal of contemporary art.”
“I’m very much a recluse, who has a difficult time forming interpersonal relationships; painting in this manner of fabricated reality is my way of connecting to subjects, while simultaneously sending a strong message to the viewer.”
