EXPANDING MOMENTS

March 15 – April 2, 2022

Reception: March 18, 5-7pm

Strata Gallery presents, Expanding Moments, an exhibition of oil paintings and monotypes by well known Santa Fe artist, Paul King. The exhibition will open March 15th with a reception on Friday March 18th from 5-7pm, including an artist's talk at 6pm.

Paul King’s abstract work, often suggestively figurative, is created with a dynamic painterly style, tempered with metaphoric associations of our common experience. King’s work evokes an expansive intimacy where the temporal blooms into the profound. 

King stated, “My work is challenging, yet richly familiar. I want it to take hold in the gut and expand in the imagination, always giving in new ways. Working improvisationally, my process is an intertwining of decades long experience, reflections on the human condition and a philosophical core based in non-duality. While previously exhibiting in the city, I’m grateful to Strata Gallery for providing my first solo exhibition in Santa Fe.”

Paul King’s work is held in numerous private and public collections nationally and has been exhibited primarily on the east coast. He received his BFA from the Philadelphia College of Art, a graduating certificate from the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and an MFA from Boston University. King was an adjunct associate professor for nearly 30 years at the University of the Arts. He now happily lives and works in Santa Fe.
