Kohl King is an Indian-born, South Florida–based mixed media artist. She studied at Brevard College in North Carolina and earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of Georgia and Master of Fine Arts from the University of Arizona. She also attended the Cooper Union School for the Advancement of Science and Art in New York.
King’s practice explores the vulnerability of existence within the fleeting nature of time and an ever-shifting world. Informed by the ancient Indian sutra Tat Tvam Asi (“I Am That”), her work considers the interconnectedness of self and environment, suggesting that all that is perceived is an extension of the self. Through layered materials and processes, she creates work that reflects on impermanence, identity, and embodied experience.
Her work has been widely exhibited at institutions including Woman Made Gallery (Chicago); the Tate Gallery at the University of Georgia (Athens); the Gallery of Contemporary and Indigenous Art and the University of Arizona Museum of Art (Tucson); the Torrance Museum of Art; Otis College of Art and Design; West Los Angeles College; and Fellows of Contemporary Art (FOCA), California. In South Florida, recent exhibitions include the Hollywood Arts & Culture Center, the Rosemary Duffy Larson Gallery, and the Coral Springs Museum of Art.
In 2025, King was awarded an Artist Grant from the Broward Cultural Division and presented Soft Edges, a solo exhibition at Gallery 1310 in Fort Lauderdale. She is a Professor of Art at Broward College in Hollywood, Florida.
