Following his move to Cincinnati in 2002, King started actively showing artwork here in 2006 within the DIY art gallery scene. King&#8217;s common thread throughout his work can be described as &#8220;whimsically creepy with undertones of an underground urban landscape&#8221; or as King calls it \u201cCt Carnivaland.\u201d King enjoys building and deconstructing with a hint of <em>mistake-ism,<\/em> where blind flow helps create his work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">For the last year Ct.King has been developing two different series of works, one with deconstruction, and the other with reconstruction. Within the two series, King strings together female heroes, with faces of calm and solitude, and some strange and dominating. In the <em>Lost Women<\/em> deconstruction series, King\u2019s laborious process and layering offers hauntingly beautiful results. In King\u2019s <em>Femmes Fatales<\/em> reconstruction series, King depicts spies and assassins that infiltrate and dominate within the creepy landscape of &#8220;Ct Carnivaland.&#8221; Although there is a clear contrast of emotion between the two series, they are linked by Ct&#8217;s signature rendering of atmosphere.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">SEE MORE of Ct&#8217;s work on Instagram <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ct.king.town\/\">HERE<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\">\u2022 \u2022 \u2022<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em><span style=\"font-size: x-large;\"><strong>Bring me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses of clothing yearning to breathe free!<\/strong><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-9709 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/nvisionshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/All-the-thread-colors.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"450\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nvisionshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/All-the-thread-colors.jpg 450w, https:\/\/nvisionshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/All-the-thread-colors-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/nvisionshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/All-the-thread-colors-220x165.jpg 220w, https:\/\/nvisionshop.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/All-the-thread-colors-220x165@2x.jpg 440w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">Now is the time to bring me your spring and summer clothing that needs repair or alterations, get them ready to wear while you don&#8217;t yet need them.
