Full of bravura physicality, Jasper Knight’s paintings confront the viewer with a love for the handmade and the truth to be found in materials. For this artist, the pleasure of paint dictates the flow of line, shape, surface and the seemingly casual insouciance of the drip with the hard-edged, utilitarian geometries he builds from discarded signage and hardware materials. Each image emerges as an icon of contemporary urban life, while allocating the everyday a place of ascendency.

Knight’s personal mix of Modernist formalism with Sydneysider sensibility generates post-photographic pictures of gritty harbour scenes, industrial sites, trucks, cars, and boats painted alla prima - with a direct attack. His skewed compositions are structurally balanced by the elegant use of enamel primary colours, echoing Mondrian, Pop Art and the Sunday comics.

From 2005 to 2010, Jasper was a yearly finalist in the Archibald Prize. In 2008 he won the Mosman Prize, and was short-listed for the Wynne Prize in 2005, 2006, 2011 and 2012. He was the recipient of an Australia Council Emerging and Established New Work Grant, the Freedman Foundation Scholarship and the Rocks Art Prize. He's also been a finalist in the Blake, The ABN-Amro, The Helen Lempriere and the Brett Whiteley Prizes.

Knight’s works are held in numerous public and private collections including the National Gallery of Australia, the New South Wales State Government, New South Wales Regional Galleries, Australian Consulates and Artbank. Carol Schwarzman

JASPER KNIGHT, PADDINGTON ART PRIZE FINALIST 2016

Congratulations to Jasper Knight who is a finalist in the Paddington Art Prize with his work 'Red Ladder, Yellow Ladder' 2016, enamel, acrylic, masonite, plywood, perspex and copper on board.

The Paddington Art Prize is a $25,000 National acquisitive prize for a painting inspired by the Australian landscape and is now in it's 13th year. An exciting addition to the Australian Arts calendar, the Paddington Art Prize takes its place among the country's most lucrative and highly coveted painting prizes. The prize encourages the interpretation of the landscape as a significant contemporary genre, its long tradition in Australian painting as a key contributor to our national ethos, and is a positive initiative in private patronage of the arts in Australia.
