KEN KNIGHT |
|
Born Sydney 1956 |
|
|
|
Ken is a plein air
artist. He is not content to copy the object but
endeavours to realize the sensation or essence
of each painting location. |
|
|
|
“I articulate this emotion through the
liberating use of colour. This creates a
presence and sense of energy in each painting
that is very much a personal response to what I
see and feel.” |
|
|
|
Ken approaches the
landscape with a contemporary boldness and
freshness. Viewed up close, his paintings are
brilliantly abstract – a myriad of brushstrokes
and edges of thick paint – but stand back a few
paces and they resolve into a landscape of
texture, mood, time and place. |
