Justin Knowles

JUSTIN KNOWLES

Justin Knowles was born in 1935 in Devon.

In addition to several important international mixed exhibitions, his one-man exhibitions total twenty to include Bangkok (British Council) London, Milan and New York. His work is represented within fifteen public collections including the Tate Britain. In October 2002 he exhibited at the National Technical Museum in Prague in conjunction with the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic.

"The whole work is a masterpiece of aesthetic economy, an enormously subtle and complex experience being generated out of the minimal physical components."

Patrick Heron 1970

"The economy of Justin Knowles’ art should not mislead us into reading it casually or quickly. Its potency and wit, its precision and archetypal suggestiveness will ignite the imagination of the attentive viewer and make him glad that significant art is still created"

Keith Walker 2002, Canon Librarian, Winchester Cathedral

"At the present time there are few artists of a comparable imaginative scope, whose work has the power to create through its forms and rhythms, its structure and placement, the sense of mystery and of wonder that is now so rarely experienced in the presence of art in public places"

Mel Gooding 2002

A major studio fire in 1973 caused the loss of most of his uninsured collection and led to what Knowles called his “silent time”, and his show at Waddingtons in 1973 was his last for over twenty years.

He gained a series of awards and there were commissions from both Exeter and Winchgester Cathedrals, and shows at many fine galleries.
