Overview
Pierre Knop (b. 1982, Nancy, France) is based in Cologne.
From cosy interiors to magnificent landscapes, Pierre Knop is a maker of vibrant tableaux. The artist begins each painting with an image from his personal archive, whether a personal photo or a scrap of art history, transmuting these small pictures into grander vistas. Knop’s process allows him to work on several canvases at once, resulting in groups of paintings that share palettes and atmospheres.
