Jasper Knight – Survey Show 2003-2012
Jasper Knight brings together a vibrant exhibition of his works from the last decade his career.
Blurring the boundaries between high art and amateur photography, between sculpture and painting, his works explore the relationship between material and subject. His practice is characterised by his use of broad primary colours that dominate his portraits and depictions of icons in the urban landscape.
Not limited to one media, Jasper’s works, often an assemblage of everyday found objects are reminiscent of the practices of Dada, Surrealist and Pop Art movements. Jasper’s works will intrigue the viewer, questioning conventions of art practice and the everyday.
