Viridian Artists is delighted to present ICONIC IMAGINATIONS, a solo exhibition of works by KATHLEEN KING exploring the symbolic terrain where mythology, psychology, fantasy, and the subconscious converge. The exhibition will be on view from September 29 through October 17, 2026. An Opening Reception will be held on Thursday, October 1, from 6–8 PM, followed by a Closing Reception on Saturday, October 17, from 4–6 PM. This is King’s fifth solo exhibition with the gallery.

In ICONIC IMAGINATIONS, Kathleen King’s chimera-like figures inhabit a world of shifting identities and opposing forces. Suggesting guardians and angels, demons and mythical beings, they embody dualities that recur throughout the human experience: light and shadow, masculine and feminine, strength and vulnerability, order and chaos. At times, these energies appear to confront one another; at others, they join in unexpected harmony, suggesting resilience, transformation, and the possibility of balance. Her imagery is both fanciful and, at times, baroque, yet darker undercurrents continually surface beneath its visual exuberance.

The resulting images occupy a space between the recognizable and the invented. King’s dense compositions reward sustained viewing. Numerous visual relationships unfold across each surface, encouraging the eye to travel through layers of figures, textures, gestures, and associations. Rather than delivering a singular message, King’s works open a door to contemplation, imagination, and the mysteries of the inner life.
