Aaron Knight is a visual artist from the United States who specializes in photography of people. He also produces paintings and drawings in various media.
His painterly style mixes formal art training with theatrical elements. This unconventional aesthetic is an escape from reality for the viewer. Knight’s themes rely in varying degrees on formal composition to celebrate the form.
Unlike many traditional photographers, the documentation of fact is irrelevant to this artist. The subject is more actor than model, and the images can appear to be plucked from a larger narrative, improvising a character, time, and place. Hidden details can add mystery and nuance, intended to elicit speculation. Layered design is intended to keep viewers returning to an image.
Knight is from the United States and was raised overseas as a second-generation artist.
