When Mary King, BFA’64, had a solo show of drawings and paintings,
“Nose to Nose, a Survey of Human Interactions,”at Manhattan’s
Denise Bibro Fine Art gallery this winter the New York Times
reviewer wrote: “In childlike fashion, Mary King draws
whimsical personages engaged in human activities while relating
to animated shapes. The relationships are often hard to fathom and
the doings vague: they seem part of a highly personal narrative
about which the viewer hasn’t a clue. Yet the artist’s
visual inventiveness and wonderful sense of the silly can’t
help but amuse.”
King, who lives in Chicago, has
an M.A. from Western Michigan University, has studied at the Art
Institute of Chicago, and has exhibited often in group and one-woman
shows around the country. Her next solo exhibit is scheduled for
April 2004 at Detroit’s Sherry Washington Gallery.
