"Will Of Fe" at Modern Eden Gallery

Join me Saturday, March 16th for the Precious Metal group exhibition at Modern Eden Gallery in San Francisco where I look forward to exhibiting my newest piece of 2024.

“Artists explore the subject matter either through the use of actual gold and silver elements—such as leafing—or conceptually, by addressing themes of value, materiality, and alchemy in their work. This exhibition aims to examine the artistic and cultural implications of precious metals, while celebrating their innate beauty and luminosity.” -Modern Eden Gallery

HOLIDAY SHOWS WITH NEW WORK IN DECEMBER

Gentle Reminder, oil on linen, 12” x 9”

Just A Suggestion, oil on linen, 12” x 9”

Sticky notes were on my mind for these two shows. Reflecting on the many notes and ideas I leave for myself in all of my spaces. Little big reminders. Look at the simplicity of these pieces but think on them a little deeper and what these notes many mean to you.

These oil paintings will be available in two different groups exhibits. See “Gentle Reminder” at Brassworks Gallery in Portland Oregon and “Just A Suggestion” at Luna Rienne Gallery in San Francisco this weekend through January 2024.

I hope you will join me for the opening of my first solo exhibition, Assorted Flavors. On exhibit will be 9 new paintings featuring sweet and savory favorites into reimagined worlds on canvas. Not your average, everyday food art - that, I promise.

“Assorted Flavors is a collection of food-related paintings depicting otherworldly musings and episodes of illusion with the artist's favorite edibles. Golden wrappers reveal worlds of chocolate confections; gummy fish pass the time on a quiet pier; and teacups burst out from pastry boxes. J.L. King's unique surrealist style emerges and immerses in this, her first solo gallery show." - Luna Rienne Gallery

See my newest piece, Scenic Route, in person at The Dog Days Of Summer exhibit at Stone Sparrow NYC Gallery this week.

THE DOG DAYS OF SUMMER:

“This exhibition title refers to the expression that is attached to the hottest days of summer, when the sun occupies the same space of the sky as the star Sirius (aka the dog star), but also to what it's more commonly used for as an expression: a time of stagnation. The pieces in the show are comprised of a few things we have shown during the pandemic that haven't been seen by many in person, as well as pieces that were created during this period of time that are being shown by us for the first time. This exhibition isn't specifically themed, but each artist chose their pieces to speak to the title of the show in their own ways. “

This group exhibition contains the work of Kevin Sparkowich, Krasso Mihaylov, Shelah Horvitz, Justin Brooks, Victor Grasso, Chris Guest, J. L. King, Niels Corfitzen, Christina Duarte, Rob Plater, MJ Lindo Lawyer, Joshua Lawyer, Gigi Chen, Richard T. Scott and Tim Roosen.

"THE BRIGHT SIDE" at WOW X WOW GALLERY

"The Bright Side" is a snapshot inspired by the first impression I had when I came upon Matilija Poppies while on a walk through the San Francisco streets. As I was passing by the long bouncing stalks I was sure I had just seen a gorgeous "fried egg flower". I have these pareidolia moments often and they serve as inspiration for many of my art scenes; always preferring to realize my imaginary scene over the actual.

This new piece is available at the UK based online gallery Wow X Wow alongside a long list of international artists. All of the pieces in this show are In the same 10” x 10” dimensions. Please contact Tim MacLean at sales@wowxwow.com for purchase inquiries.

Here is my statement when asked “What inspired this piece?”:

“Isolation in a studio allows for an ample flow of creative thought. That is, until the ineludible appearance of the studio fly; darting about and commanding attention every moment it landed at rest and seemingly to study me. It was persistent, consistent, and impossible to ignore. During those moments of rest I studied the way the light glistened from the brilliant iridescence of it’s thorax. Thus, I found the largest canvas I had in my possession and rendered the likeness of this ordinary turned extraordinary creature in the glorified and larger than life state depicted in this series.”

These images remained in the sketchbook of my mind for many months before finally creating them for the “Ride The Sunrise” exhibit. They were inspired from a pareidolia moment I had with one of my other paintings as I was creating it. Many times, if I stare at another one of my pieces, more images are born.
