He appreciated how many people walking along Fourth Street near Jefferson stopped to thank him for bringing art to the neighborhood in such a visible way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Titled &#8220;The Pythia in Agate,&#8221; the work is part of this month&#8217;s\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.prhbtn.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">PRHBTN street art festival in Lexington<\/a>.

The &#8220;Agate&#8221; part of the title provides a clue \u2014 from murky gray-blues to vibrant oranges, the color scheme reflects the state rock: Kentucky agate, King said. So the mural&#8217;s message is that &#8220;with wisdom, we follow our hearts down the path to home.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The mural&#8217;s classical subject matter is no passing fascination for the artist, who once ran Oracle Tattoo Guild. &#8220;Pretty much everything I do anymore is some retelling of Greek myths,&#8221; King said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also pointed out how the Temple of Apollo&#8217;s high priestess (aka the Oracle of Delphi, aka the Pythia) was consulted by many different cultures, even warring nations, to pursue knowledge of the future without the &#8220;normal objections of the past.&#8221; King said he&#8217;d like to paint more Pythias around town, ones that reflect a shared hope for the future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Fourth Street artwork, though, is vague enough for viewers to come up with their own interpretations, which actually reflects how oracles gave their predictions. &#8220;Nothing was being dictated to you,&#8221; he said. &#8220;It&#8217;s kind of liberating.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It also was liberating for him to paint a work as large as a mural. &#8220;There&#8217;s something very freeing about having your entire arm in a brush stroke,&#8221; he said. Other of King&#8217;s murals are displayed in Roulay Restaurant and Bar and outside Broomwagon cafe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another reason he likes murals is that they become integrated into people&#8217;s lives. &#8220;I like that they&#8217;re in the middle of a neighborhood \u2014 they&#8217;re in a community,&#8221; King said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.wkyt.com\/2021\/10\/06\/new-mural-being-painted-near-transylvania-university\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Check out this WKYT story<\/a>&nbsp;on his new work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also during this year&#8217;s PRHBTN festival, Transylvania art professor Jack Girard and graduate Josie Willis &#8217;19 have new pieces in a&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.lexingtonartleague.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Lexington Art League<\/a>&nbsp;exhibition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"810\" height=\"253\" src=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/10\/transylvaina_mural-4-810x253.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-18291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/10\/transylvaina_mural-4-810x253.jpg 810w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/10\/transylvaina_mural-4-350x109.jpg 350w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/10\/transylvaina_mural-4-730x228.jpg 730w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/10\/transylvaina_mural-4-768x240.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/10\/transylvaina_mural-4-300x94.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.transy.edu\/1780\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/14\/2021\/10\/transylvaina_mural-4.jpg 1400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 810px) 100vw, 810px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Artist Joe King painted new mural on the side of a Transylvania University warehouse as part of the PRHBTN street festival.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":18289,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_relevanssi_hide_post":"","_relevanssi_hide_content":"","_relevanssi_pin_for_all":"","_relevanssi_pin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_unpin_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_keywords":"","_relevanssi_related_include_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_exclude_ids":"","_relevanssi_related_no_append":"","_relevanssi_related_not_related":"","_relevanssi_related_posts":"8730,5755,5495,12378,6590,15363","_relevanssi_noindex_reason":"","jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[161],"tags":[776],"feeds":[],"class_list":["post-18286","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-fine-arts","tag-prhbtn"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.3 (Yoast SEO v27.3) -
