Born in Coshocton, Ohio 1976, Clinton King holds a BFA in painting from Columbus College of Art and Design and an MFA in sculpture from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. King’s artistic approach is defined by his emphasis on the material and sensory qualities of painting and his minimalist approach, which often creates elaborate maximalist effects.
King’s recent solo exhibitions include Participation Mystique, STEMS (Brussels, 2025); Mythmatics, MAKI Gallery (Tokyo, 2023); LIVING ENDS, Carl Kostyál (London, 2022); and FREE RADICAL, Allouche Benias Gallery (Athens, 2021).
