LOMA Gallery proudly presents the work of Kagen King , an American mixed-media artist from Athens, Georgia , whose work challenges the American perception of global political upheaval . King’s large-scale compositions break away from traditional painting techniques, confronting academic interpretations of international politics and redefining how art can serve as a medium for resistance and social critique.

Politically charged and intentionally disruptive, King’s textured, heavy-handed collages reject refinement , mirroring the raw realities of revolution, oppression, and social change. His bold, layered brushstrokes convey the weight of tyranny and the lived experiences of those in turbulent environments . By stripping away embellishment, King compels viewers to confront their own political beliefs, making his work both an artistic statement and a call to awareness.

LOMA Gallery is honored to showcase King’s work— a visceral, unfiltered depiction of global unrest that forces audiences to question, engage, and reflect.
