InScope Walls
Chloe King and Canyon Castator, in collaboration with ARTXIV
Two large-scale exterior paintings by artists with long histories on walls, both commissioned and unsanctioned.

The work
The Walls are by Chloe King and Canyon Castator, artists with long histories working on walls, both commissioned and unsanctioned. Across that history, permanence has been relative, determined by perspective, access and who holds authority over the surface.
The opportunity under these conditions is to present these artists’ work at a scale that is rarely seen, outside the settings in which it is usually made and shown. Commissioned but temporary, the two exterior paintings for InScope offer a non-linear contribution to the long and complicated conversation around public art.
About Chloe King
Chloe King (b. 1999, Oakland, CA) is an interdisciplinary artist working across painting, photography and installation. Their practice explores queer experiences of pleasure, power and perception through speculative image-making informed by Black queer futurity, nightlife cultures and visual world-building. Drawing from lived experience, King examines how images shape cultural memory, identity and collective affect. Through recurring motifs such as camouflage, and dreamlike or dystopian landscapes, their work investigates embodiment, visibility and transformation. King holds a B.F.A. from Cornish College of the Arts and both an M.F.A. in Fine Art and an M.A. in Visual and Critical Studies from California College of the Arts.
Recent and notable exhibitions include Dancing My Way to Drexciya, Frye Art Museum (Seattle, 2026); Internet Speed at Tacoma Art Museum (Tacoma, 2026); and Stumbling Two Step, a solo presentation at Seattle Art Fair (Seattle, 2026). Additional exhibitions include Fools Gold at the Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco (2024), the Murphy & Cadogan Contemporary Art Awards Exhibition at SOMArts (San Francisco, 2024), Anti/Thesis at Minnesota Street Project (San Francisco, 2024), and Public Dreams of Fractured Futures, a solo exhibition at Wa Na Wari (Seattle, 2022). King has participated in residencies at ARTS at King Street Station, Specialist Gallery and Chautauqua School of Art.
About Canyon Castator
Canyon Castator (b. 1989, Houston, TX) creates large-scale paintings that satirically examine contemporary social realities. Drawing from the internet, popular culture, politics and personal experience, his work brings together dissonant characters, layered symbolism and distorted narratives. Blending digital and traditional techniques, Castator explores the intersections of violence, spectacle and contemporary culture.
Castator’s work has been exhibited internationally and is held in private and institutional collections throughout the United States and Europe. Exhibitions include Diane Rosenstein (Los Angeles), Postmasters Gallery (New York), Carl Kostyál (London/Stockholm), Plan X (Rome) and Torrance Art Museum (California). His work has been featured in BOMB Magazine, Juxtapoz and Artnet.
In addition to his painting practice, Castator is the co-founder of Mohilef Studios, an artist-run studio project in Los Angeles dedicated to fostering artistic community, experimentation and collaboration.
