Conor approaches traditional genres of painting in a contemporary manner as an autodidactic artist. His work is constructed from considered intentional brushstrokes and a desire to capture the essence of his subject, without a compulsion for fideltiy.

‘Art is a beast and it must be fed, I made it these paintings so it wouldn’t eat me instead!’ Feed the beast is a small selection of recent still life paintings by Conor Knight. The works are characterised by the textures, forms and nature of what sustains us rendered with meaty but deliberate strokes of oil paint.
