ART TALK: Anki King’s Then and Now

ART TALK: Anki King’s Then and Now

Norwegian Artist Anki King discusses her work, technical process, and influences. King’s practice is rooted in an intuitive and non-verbal process. She starts working without preconceived ideas; instead, each work emerges organically through direct engagement with the medium – allowing the material to guide the outcome. Having lived and worked in New York City for the past 30 years, King’s work remains deeply connected to the dark psychological sensibility of Scandinavian art and literature. Her visual language echoes the existential intensity of artists such as Edvard Munch and writers like Knut Hamsun, where inner states, vulnerability, and isolation are central.
