Gwendolyn Knight

At just 7 years old her mother gave her over to trusted close friends with whom she immigrated from Barbados to the US with. Eventually settling in Harlem, NY where she graduated from Wadleigh High School in 1930. Now known as Wadleigh Secondary School For the Performing and Visual Arts, the only accredited arts high school in Harlem.

She went on to attend Howard University studying fine arts with Lois Mailou Jones and printmaker James Lesesne Wells from 1931-1933. The thick of The Great Depression caused financial hardship for Knight who had to drop out before receiving her degree. She then returned to NY and began work at the Works Projects Administration as an assistant to the muralist, Charles Alston. She didn’t let her early departure from college stop her. She continued studying art at the Harlem Community Arts center where she was mentored by Augusta Savage. Through Savage, she met and was exposed to the work of other artists, poets, and writers of the Harlem Renaissance. 

In 1934 she joined another Works Projects Administration mural project, where she met fellow painter and future husband Jacob Lawrence. In 1946 Knight and her husband were invited to teach at Black Mountain College, a private Liberal Arts College in Black Mountain, North Carolina. Returning to work and live in NY during the 1950s.

She then moved with her husband to Seattle Washington after he accepted a job at the University of Washington’s School of Art. The traveling and work she has done from the 40s-60s some would say makes her an itinerant artist. She is quoted in a Callaloo magazine interview with Charles H. Rowell saying “It wasn’t necessary for me to have acclaim… I just knew that I wanted to do it, so I did it whenever I could.”

Knight procured support from the National Links, INC for her first one woman show that was developed in 1976. This exhibit created a greater desire for her works and acquiring of her pieces by national museums. 

Knight’s work was concentrated on storytelling paintings that illustrated the lives, culture, and history of African Americans that surrounded her own daily life.  Her paintings encompassed a diverse range of subjects such as still life, portraits, and urban scenes. She worked with a variety of different mediums from oil paints, water colors, and gouache. Later in her artistic journey her paintings started to have a more poetic depiction of animals through etching and monoprints. You can also see that she draws from her admiration for African dance, sculpture, and theatre.

“Away From The Numbers” (2017). This painting on paper was influenced by and created to the song of the same name by The Jam. The composition could be seen as a series of doors which can isolate. Either willingly or otherwise.

IN MY MOTHER'S APPAREL As the sun set into the night,  Boys grows into men and girls grows into women. In our innocence,we once acted the role, mimicking their lives in own way. To some, it is worth copying, to some, a shoe to be worn differently, to some others, it is not just a dream, it's their lives,  a burden left on their shoulder in absence; a baby mother looking after her young. Have you ever worn your parent's clothes? Smile, When a dads shirt becomes your jacket. Your mums blouse, your gown. What sort of feeling do you have when you do? I guess for some with humility, for some it is a necessity, for some with pride and honour. Words are not enough, See life and stories through it.

「再構築2022.06.17」 Acrylic gouache on canvas SM(227×158mm) 2022.06 僕は1度壊れた 元の自分に戻るために 壊れた仲間のパーツを組み合わせてみる 個人の記憶という不確かなリアルにまかせて 再構築は今始まる 今、この瞬間、苦しんでる人の光になりますように。この子達が300年500年先のどこかの誰かの光になりますように。 3年後5年後の僕自身の光になりますように。 #現代アート #現代美術 #くろこちゃん #takeshiyamao #现代艺术 #미술 #예술 #acrylicpainting #artworks #artcollective #Contemporaryart #artgram #artgallery #artistsoninstagram #todaysartreport #gallerist #curator #fineart #奈良県画家 #奈良現代アート #奈良アーティスト #奈良県 #コメント歓迎 https://www.instagram.com/p/CfGKLyovYso/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
