Joel Alden Kingston at The American Center for Artists

A sense of predicament permeates Kingston’s highly photographic paintings, much like a captured moment before something ominous occurs. Each scene elicits the viewers own narrative and the symbolic imagery employed in the paintings reveals psychological undercurrents in everyday life.

Biography:

Primarily self taught, Joel Alden Kingston has stayed away from changing artistic styles and has remained true to his singular vision, an entirely personal interpretation of human existence. Distilling his thoughts and dreams into symbolic imagery that reveals the hidden aspects of everyday life, he gives form to universal truths that become immediately recognizable. His highly realistic portraits and figure scenes capture the emotions and thoughts of individual experience.
