With a professional career spanning 20 years, Australian artist Michael Knight has proved genuine creativity and hard work can still compete in a changeable contemporary art market.
Michael’s passion for drawing and composition, and unusually bold sense of colour, produce evocative works with long-lasting appeal. His paintings feature in collections throughout Australia and his tenth solo exhibition opened in Melbourne in 2014.
After 10 years on the east coast, Michael is happy to be back in his Fremantle studio working towards a 2017 Perth exhibition at Nyisztor Studio.
