About the Work

Kris Knight employs traditional media to explore contemporary notions of identity and sexuality. Working in a lush color palette inspired by the French Rococo artists of the 18th century, Knight immaculately renders intimate portraits of characters drawn from his inner circle with a focus on hauntingly tender poses delivered by young men. His paintings are heartbreakingly romantic, emphasized by his usage of sensual pastels, isolated settings, and pensive stares. An unabashed celebration of beauty, Knight’s work also serves as a vehicle for messaging regarding the boundaries of sexuality in its contemporary myriad fluid forms.

Artist Biography

Kris Knight recently collaborated with Gucci by painting a modern interpretation of the international fashion house's iconic Flora pattern, originally created by the Italian artist Vittorio Accornero for Grace Kelly in 1966. Knight has an upcoming solo show with Mulherin (Toronto) and has mounted solo exhibitions at Galerie Alain Gutharc (Paris), Spinello Projects (Miami), and Mulherin+Pollard (New York). He was also included in Sea, Sex, and Sun at Galerie Alain Gutharc (Paris), “Lumières” curated by Christian Lacroix, Musée Cognac-Jay (Paris), and “Pink: A Rosé Exhibition” curated by Luis Venegas, Colette (Paris). Knight was born in 1980 (Canada), and received his AOCAD from Ontario College of Art and Design in 2003.

Authentication & Resale

Be sure to keep your Certificate of Authenticity (COA) in a safe place. We are unable to replace or reissue COAs.

Framing

Framed artwork is custom framed once it is ordered. Allow 3-5 weeks for framing and delivery.

FRAME
All of our frames are made from sustainably sourced engineered hardwood that is manufactured in the USA. Frames are available in Black or White Matte and Walnut.

MAT
Prints are hinged to a conservation quality, acid-free and lignin-free Cellulose matboard, using acid-free polyethylene cloth tape. Each mat’s surface paper is fade and bleed resistant and is attached to a conversation quality foam-core board. Some of our work (typically those pieces with a deckled edge) is floated on the matboard with spacers to separate the artwork from the glazing.

GLAZING
We use museum quality .060 mm plexiglass to frame your work. It blocks 82-85% of UV rays to prevent color fading from exposure to light, protecting your art for years to come.

DIMENSIONS
Our White and Black frames have a ⅞” wide flat face and are 15/16” deep. Mats are 1” wide for prints up to 8” x 10”. Mats are 2” wide for prints larger than 8” x 10”.

Our Natural and Walnut frames have a ¾” wide flat face and are 1 ⅛” deep. Mats are 1” wide for prints up to 8” x 10”. Mats are 2” wide for prints larger than 8” x 10”.

Any artwork that is floated will be placed in a frame that has a ⅝” wide flat face and is 1 5/16” deep. Work will be floated with a 1” border around it.
