Also known as Old King Orthy, El Conde & Kevin Orth
K.O. “King of the Hobo Painters”
King Orth began making artwork in Chicago in the late 80s and quickly began showing in galleries, art centers and museums.
His work has been shown at the American Visionary Art Museum, The Terra Museum of American Art, in galleries in New York and Chicago, and many art centers and other venues.
His work gained momentum through the next decade and found homes in collections large and small before he left the US art scene and moved to Mexico to start a family.
Returning to the USA years later he ran a commercial painting business, retired, and is now making and showing artwork full time again.
