Kit King (b. 1987)is a Bahamian Canadian contemporary artist who has been the subject of solo and group exhibitions in galleries and museums internationally- showing throughout Canada and the US, as well as the UK, Mexico, Australia, and the United Arab Emirates.
King has participated in numerous art fairs such as Zonamaco, Scope Miami, Texas Contemporary, The Hampton's Art+Design, Seattle Art Fair, and her work can be found in both private and public collections worldwide.
Additionally King has won several awards for her hyperrealistic portrait paintings- including being a three time people's choice winner of Canada's Portrait competition -The Kingston Prize.
King creates intimate hyperrealistic contemporary portraits that undress the cultural layers that determine worth and shape identity within the social stratum. The subjects in King's work serve to shift the status quo and challenge norms, while deconstructing the preconceptions of the many roles within cultural levels.
Her innovative use of traditional materials pushes boundaries- often with a destructive nature that emulates the destructive nature of man. With the need to create, beckons the need to destroy, as we see in King's most recent works of fully rendered paintings that have been cut up into pieces, deconstructed, and reassembled.
