About Emily Knight
Biography
Emily recently graduated from The Glasgow School of Art's undergraduate painting department.
Motivated by the desire to document rose-tinted memories; paintings, illustrations, and animations form the basis of her work. Painting becomes a playful tool to navigate the balancing act between preserving the details of a memory and applying a projected sense of feeling; often displaying a combination of abstracted colour, contrasting figures, and trompe l'œil rendered material to present a collapse in the experience of memory.
