Kris Knight
is a Canadian painter whose work examines performance in relation to the construction, portrayal and boundaries of sexual and asexual identities. His mythical and ambiguous portraits, attractive and disturbing, are a synthesis of fantasy and real-world memory, between the dichotomies of pretty and menace, hunter and hunted, innocence and the erotic. Evident his adoration for 18th Century French portraiture. Kris Knight spent his youth in small towns in rural Ontario before moving to Toronto where he currently lives and works. Since graduating from the Ontario College of Art and Design in 2003, Knight's practice has concentrated on thematic figurative works;
he has exhibited nationally and internationally in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Kansas City, Toronto, Louisville, Miami, New York, Mexico City, Paris.
