Carol Knight

Carol paints the figure as her prime subject matter. Alone or in groups surrounded by settings that are often ambiguous or vaguely delineated, these figures are salvaged from memory creating a sensory and vibrant picture.

It is colour that is the unifying quality, used both as a means of structuring and organizing space.

Her interest in illusionism and the way in which figures materialize are evidence of a sense of the history and evolution of figurative painting.

In exploring the limits and possibilities of paint she uses the best quality oil paints ensuring its vibrancy. For deepening or altering tonal values she uses traditional glazes of colour on colour.
