Stephen L. King, fine artist and designer, attended the University of Massachusetts
and received a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Visual Design/Illustration in 1994. King's earlier
works focused on a special medium technique (Airbrush/Acetate) which he created from a screen
printing procedure. Using vibrant colors, repetition, and this technique, his artwork creates an
emotion within the viewer, expanding one's perception of a particular form, shape, subject, or image.
Many of his works contain images of icons and idols. "I am creating new ways of seeing people."
His new work still focuses on icon images, but in a more abstract sense. Combining color field
abstract art, halftone dot patterns, and "POP" art, he creates a confined psychedelic feeling. "I want
the viewer to make believe the abstract circular background is part of that character." The final
images represent a single moment, captured and surrounded by colored light. King's style is the
creation of a combination of art history. Abstract artists such as Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein,
Jasper Johns, and Mark Rothko are very present in the work and create that unique representation
of each person. Mr. King resides in Plymouth, MA with his Wife, Dawn Elizabeth, and two cats. His
work has been displayed locally and in Boston. King also designs logos and does work on
consignment.
