Kris Knight
Kris Knight is a Canadian artist based in Toronto, Canada. Knight's works are mostly portraits; Knight wanted to draw the human face as a kid and continues to be the main thing that he want to paint as an adult.〔 Each one of Knight's series of work is stemmed from his autobiographical memory.〔〔 He works at a downtown Toronto studio that he shares with illustrator Winnie Truong.〔
==Life and career==
Knight was born in Windsor, Ontario in 1980, and moved to Toronto in 1999 for art school. Knight has three other siblings. Growing up in a bakery, where his mother worked as a baker, Knight's pastel palette was influenced by his experiences tinting icing used for baked goods. Knight mixed his color palette by using the technique bakers use to make cake icings - by starting off with a white base and later adding the tint.〔 Knight has described himself as having an awkward and shy personality.〔 Knight's parents gave art supplies as Knight's birthday and Christmas present since he was young, seeing that he had an interest in art.〔〔 Knight received his degree in 2003, majoring in Painting and Drawing from the Ontario College of Art and Design (AOCAD), with a minor in Curating and Criticism. In most of Knight's twenties, he worked in art galleries during the day and restaurants at night.〔
Knight's works are represented by (Katharine Mulherin ) in Toronto, Spinello Gallery in Miami and Galerie Alain Gutharc in Paris.〔 He claimed that he paints everyday but destroy half of his work.〔
Knight's work was hand-picked by fashion designer Christian Lacroix to be part of a group exhibition, Carte Blanche a Christian Lacroix, at Musée Cognacq-Jay in Paris in November 2014. His work was featured alongside other contemporary artists who are inspired by the 18th century.〔
