Though he devoted little time to his art photography during his years in politics, King took up his camera again in 1994 after the Governor’s race and developed a unique style he calls “Photoexpressionism” creating "Photoexpressionist Mindscapes" combining elements of painting and photography and digital manipulation.
In an artists statement published by Xanadu Gallery King’s work is described as “a celebration of life, blending the real and the surreal to achieve a sense of place or time that reaches beyond the moment into what he describes as "a dreamlike quintessentialism" designed to spark an emotional response. Using digital enhancement, handcrafting, painting, and sometimes even straight photography, King takes the viewer to a place that is beyond simple truth to where truth meets passion, hope and dreams.”
His work can be found in the collections of a broad range of people including Livingston Taylor, (the late) Koko Taylor, Richard Merritt, Bill Bradley, Bruce Babbitt, Bill Clinton, Adhiambo Odaga, Bill Russell and others.
