HARPY (2023) Painting by Sarah Knill-Jones

Raised in Scotland Sarah Knill-Jones studied at the Glasgow School of Art and obtained her Master in Fine Art from the University of the Arts London. Her practice incorporates drawing, video, performance and collaborative experiments, but the core remains centred in, on and around paint, as a visceral, human response to the world we live in. Key concerns of human form and our capacity for the monstrous are underpinned by a strong and consistent dedication to the practice of life drawing. With a focus on the unconscious and myth making as ways of accessing deeper, universal truths, she aims to create space for subjectivity and individual experience. She has had solo exhibitions at The Museum of Modern Art Baku and The Centre for Contemporary Art, Baku and the IESA Gallery Paris in 2023. Past duo and group shows include Trinity Buoy Wharf Drawing Prize 2023, Wander Lines, Paris 2022, A Cable I Have no Knife to Cut, Poush!
