A graphic designer as well as a painter, Kevin King designed a postcard for his one-person show that comes complete
with his own mugshot. The suspect stands accused of painting in an exceptionally wide variety of styles.
The verdict is certain: Guilty as charged!
One-Person Show Does Justice to Kevin King’s ‘Many Sides’
“The Many Sides of Kevin King” will open Saturday, May 20, and continue through Sunday, June 4. The show will feature some 20 paintings completed by North Falmouth artist Kevin King over the past two decades, ranging from the highly realistic to the totally abstract.
Pictured at right is his most recent painting, a copy of “La Bella Principessa” (“The Beautiful Princess”), a drawing some experts have attributed to Leonardo da Vinci. The source is clear, but so is King’s stamp of originality. In addition to having a more intense palette than the Renaissance portrait, his version includes a butterfly perched on the girl’s braid. We hope you’ll join us for the exhibition’s opening reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Saturday, May 20. King’s gallery talk at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 25, will offer another opportunity to meet the artist.
