Artist Statement for Luke Knight
|
|
|
Painting is a tactile and intuitive act; a recording of a process that combines both spontaneous and deliberate marks with areas that will have been worked over a period of weeks, often sanded or scraped back to reveal a stain or ghost of an original mark.
Presented here are semi abstract landscapes and coastal horizons based on memories of times spent travelling in and around the Cornish landscape. I use thick impasto layers in combination with thin layers of paint which create a sense of depth and movement in the work, and provide the painting with it’s identity and uniqueness. I am interested in uniting textural surfaces, opposing and akin; working from memory, photographs, and sketches. My work is often ambiguous; and although very much concerned with surface and texture, by quietly asking the viewer to look past the works’ immediate façade, the paintings seek to prompt resonant memories.
