Luis De Jesus Los Angeles is very pleased to announce Michael Kindred Knight: Deep End, the artist's third solo exhibition at the gallery, on view from June 3 through July 8, 2017.
In his paintings, Knight continues to work with rectilinear marks and shapes that simultaneously operate as form, structure, gesture and field. Marks of differing width, length and transparency slant and bend across the canvas generating a sense of buoyancy and rhythm, and allow the works to continually slip out of the grasp of predictable or singular interpretation.
Michael Kindred Knight was born 1977, Portland, Oregon, and received an MFA from Claremont Graduate University (2010) and BA from Western Washington University (2004). Recent exhibitions include Abstraction in the Singular, Bentley Gallery, Phoenix, AZ; Abstract Miniatures, Fine Arts Center, Tempe, AZ; Younger Than George, George Lawson Gallery, San Francisco, CA; Impromptu, Luis De Jesus Los Angeles; LA n CV 2, Coachella Valley Art Center, Indio, CA; Scorch, Page Bond Gallery, Richmond, VA. Knight is the recipient of the Claremont Graduate University's President's Art Award, the Karl and Beverly Benjamin Fellowship in Art, and the Walker/Parker Memorial Fellowship. He lives and works in Los Angeles.
