Pierre Knop (FR)
In Pierre Knop’s paintings, trees, mountains, sky and sea loom large, powerfully upstaging the small figures quietly hiking, resting or performing mundane tasks. His rich narrative paintings invoke the painterly energy of the Expressionists and Post-Impressionists, recalling the sensibilities of Edvard Munch and Francis Bacon, among others. By balancing the use of finely-drawn lines with thicker brush strokes, the intentional with the unintentional, the descriptive with the ambiguous, Knop presents a fluid scene in a continual state of flux and tension.
Pierre Knop (b. 1982, Nancy; FR) was born in France and raised in Germany. He graduated from Kunstakademie Düsseldorf in 2013 and now lives and works in Cologne, Germany. Solo exhibitions include Kunsthaus Essen (DE), Anat Ebgi (US), Kunstverein-Koelnberg (DE), CHOI & LAGER (KR/DE) and Yossi Milo Gallery (US).
