Yossi Milo is pleased to announce Idylle und Verderben, a solo exhibition of new work by French-German painter Pierre Knop. Opening on Thursday, October 26 and on view through Saturday, November 25, the artist’s second exhibition at the gallery will feature new paintings of dreamy seaside landscapes and whimsical boxing matches from eras past.
Guided by his painterly intuition, Knop spins painted tales of enchanted realms filled with surreal bodies, otherworldly forms, and spellbinding color. The artist gives way to the pull of his various mediums—allowing his hand to lead him as he coaxes compositions from his subconscious. Much of Knop’s imagery comes from the recent histories of his native countries, Germany and France, and the decades of turbulence and shifting paradigms that came to define them. Inspired by the impressionists and expressionists that emerged during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Knop puts forth a contemporary romanticism in his paintings, epitomizing the grandeur of nature and humanity’s place within it.
