ARTIST STATEMENT
“My work is meant to display all that is beautiful about my black culture, it is my intent for the viewer to grow an appreciation for all that has been provided by the many faces of the black diaspora.”
ARTIST BIO
“My name is Rodney H King, and I am the artist and owner of Kingspen LLC. My goal is to create vibrant images that celebrate the greatness of black culture. I primarily focus on hip hop, jazz, and basketball in my pieces, with my signature touch being the use of color. Recently, I have been fortunate to receive positive media coverage, with features on Komo, Seattle Refined, PBS, King 5 Evening, the Renton Reporter, and other local outlets. In addition to being an artist, I am a devoted husband, father of three, and a man of faith. Through my art, I aim to spread love and evoke feelings of nostalgia for the best aspects of our culture. I am Kingspen.”
