Inheritors of Chance
Modfellows Art Gallery presents Inheritors of Chance, a series by the artist Andy King that explores the impact of the controllable and uncontrollable elements of our lives.
The flowing illustrations, expressed in a distinctive oil painting style on canvas, provides spiritual motifs that assist in the significance of the surrounding pieces in the collection. Each piece produces dramatic emotions that are exceptionally clear to viewers in their own perspective. The collection, displayed in the Modfellows - WeHo location, are intentionally presented in sequential order throughout the gallery to allow each art piece to connect and reflect the meaning of each surrounding creation.
Inheritors of Chance is a collection that presents gracefully, rolling imagery that allows the pieces to define stability and disorder as well as everything that lies between. The movement of the oil painting strokes, accompanied with the ever changing texture and colors, captures the
metaphorical meaning in the evolving direction of life based on various forms of chance. The use of smooth curvature and gentle shades suggests the inheriting elements that provide the grounding aspects of a being's self and course throughout life. This insightful symbolism, conveyed through this form of dramatized imagery, vividly reveals the brilliance, often overlooked, in the space between the unintentional and preordination. Each art piece in the collection can be distinctively characterized by the colorful features and strict yet flowing lining. King’s intention is to express the beauty often unrecognized in the instinctive components of individual’s lives.
