His best known subject matter is seascape and coastal scenes, especially the Solent, Norfolk and Venice. His other notable work is his representation of the female form.
He was born in Leicester in 1936 and attended Leicester College of Art for two years as a part time student before completing two years army service in Egypt. He then resumed art school in 1957. He then worked as a shoe designer but continued to paint and exhibited in Leicester, London and abroad with great success. He has had exhibitions at the Paris Salon, the Royal Institute, London and the Royal Academy.
He is a member of the Royal Institute of Painters and Watercolors and the Royal Society of Marine Artists. He now lives on the south coast of England and exhibits his works regularly.

This original pastel work by English artist Robert King depicts a young female gymnast. She has short blonde hair and is wearing a one-piece scarlet red leotard. She is standing with her arms raised and her left leg slightly bent, as if to commence her floor routine, whilst her coach scrutinises her performance. There is a long table in the background with the outline of a standing figure behind it, so perhaps this is a competition and the gymnast is being judged. The floor is colored in the same scarlet red as the young woman’s leotard, suggesting that she is in tune with her surroundings. The viewer feels a slight anticipation but has faith that she is going to perform brilliantly!
