Welcome to the online portfolio of Philadelphia artist, Paul King. Included is a continually updated and comprehensive survey of masterful artwork produced over twenty five years and a blog where reflections on art and life are offered for enrichment and related news. Paul King’s paintings and monotype prints create a rich visual dialogue that is continually evolving into an ever deepening and passionate expression of humanity, the act of painting, and the natural world.

- When the Artist spontaneously offers his most profound nature and through his talent finds its nearest expression, it awakens the viewer, the listener, his own profundity.—Jean Klein
- It may be possible that the deep necessity of art is the examination of self-deception.—Robert Motherwell

- It is possible that herein lies the impulse for creative endeavor, that a kind of basic alienation, even if unconscious, is what drives one to an effort of bringing the split self together again through the agency of art?—Seymore Remenick
- ...in art there is no final goal. There is always further to go. It is a voyage of undending discovery, and as in all such voyages, what is gathered by the wayside is often as valuable as what is found at the destination.—G.I. Gurdjeff
- Art is soul chards left to evoke a sense of the creator and a connection that ties us all.—Douglas Hofstadter
