About me:
Anki King grew up in a small village in Norway. Unaware of the art world she continuously drew portraits of fellow students during economics studies. After graduating she decided to take a year with art studies as a break and never looked back. In 1991 she was accepted in the three year program at Oslo Drawing and Painting School before moving to New York in 1994. In New York Anki has built a strong career as a painter and exhibits frequently both in Europe and in USA. Her work is represented in the collection of the Appleton Museum of Art, exhibition venues include Katonah Museum of Art, Las Cruces Museum of Art, Karpeles Library Museum and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in Tokyo. This coming summer she will exhibit at the National Gallery in Santo Domingo, DR.

From Exhibiting You:
The image of the seated figure is one I find myself returning to often, in both paintings and sculpture. I am fascinated by this position in which the figure seems to have given in, or surrendered, to life's circumstances; it appears exhausted by being. The pose is closed and open, strong and weak, heavy and light, all at the same time. These dualities create a tension I find inspiring.
