Jasper Knight (1978) is a Sydney-based artist

known for his bright, brash colours and distinctive

graphic approach, using materials such as spray

paint, masonite, pegboard and salvaged signage.

Influenced by graffiti, pop art and mixed media

practices, Knight’s work is often characterised by

the inclusion of industrial landscapes and objects

such as ports, cars, trucks and boats. Large blocks

of colour drip and move across the surface of his

works, suggesting movement.

A significant contemporary artist, Knight has been

a finalist in the Archibald Prize multiple times and

has held many exhibitions in Australia, London,

Berlin and Beijing.
