Nick Knight : Roses

About

Alongside four decades of a hugely successful and public commercial career, Knight’s constant desire to shoot and to experiment with his compositions has manifested in a series of still life photographs that have seldom been published or exhibited. These works, mostly shot in the privacy of his own home with very little by way of set or props or extra technical equipment, will make their UK debut this summer at Albion Barn, a large-scale exhibition space in Oxfordshire where the photographer is free to exhibit these exceptional examples of his restless journey with aesthetic margins against the ideal backdrop of the countryside. Two distinct series will be on view at Albion Barn; Knight’s Rose Photo Paintings and Roses from My Garden. Precise and filled with detail, the unified and harmonious photographs have an elegiac quality that dramatizes the transient nature of beauty.
