Biography:
Dustan Knights artistic sensibility
is strongly influenced by her post
graduate years in New York City.
Where she was involved in the
Expressionist movement of new
artists in the eighties. Like them
she believes that art should be a
passionate statement from the
artist's innermost self. Knights
subsequent study in Art History
establishes a framework of artistic
ideas and ideals giving her work
depth and context within the
historic dialogue of art and
culture.
Knight has been working with
watercolors during the past fifteen
years and is fascinated by the
brilliant fragile color, physical
peculiarities and speed with which
you can move it. The floras, many as
big as 4 x 4 feet, are practically
performance works...done, because of
the personality of the medium, in
one Herculean effort and record the
energy, psychological presence and
emotional state of the creator. More
recognizable images combine the
narrative with a more deliberate
technique to convey a nostalgia or
sense of quiet mystery.
The mixed media and acrylic works
have a sculptural heavy presence.
The large, mixed media, acrylics are
from an ongoing narrative series.
