KRIS KNIGHT 1980 Windsor, Canada

Kris Knight is a Canadian artist based in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Knight's works are mostly portraits; Knight wanted to draw the human face as a child and it continues to be the main thing that he focuses on painting as an adult.[1] Each one of Knight's series of work stems from his autobiographical memory.[1][2][3] He works at a downtown Toronto studio that he shares with illustrator Winnie Truong.[4] Life and career Knight was born in Windsor, Ontario in 1980, and moved to Toronto in 1999 for art school.[5] Knight has three other siblings.[3] Growing up in a bakery, where his mother worked as a baker, Knight's pastel palette was influenced by his experiences tinting icing used for baked goods. Knight mixed his color palette by using the technique bakers use to make cake icings - by starting off with a white base and later adding the tint.[2] Knight has described himself as having an awkward and shy personality.[1] Knight's parents gave art supplies as Knight's birthday and Christmas present since he was young, seeing that he had an interest in art.[2][3] Knight received his degree in 2003, majoring in Painting and Drawing from the Ontario College of Art and Design (AOCAD), with a minor in Curating and Criticism. In most of Knight's twenties, he worked in art galleries during the day and restaurants at night.[3] Knight's works are represented by Spinello Gallery in Miami and Galerie Alain Gutharc in Paris. He was represented by Toronto art dealer Katharine Mulherin (1964–2019)} until her death in 2019.
