Alan Knight
Pen-Dref Street
At the main crossroads in Newborough on the A4080 at the corner shop turn up Pen-Dref Street, opposite Church Street. Pritchard-Jones Institute is a short distance on the left.
I love the intense colour and richness of oil paint, applying the paint thickly and undiluted often mixing direct on the canvas. I aim to capture the physical reality of nature.its texture, colour and the play of light. My subject matter is Anglesey.
Open all year around by prior appointment.
My work could be described as a glimpsed collage of life. I filter out a selection of information and apply the images to a static surface which becomes a place of contemplation. I make reference to texts and stories from a broad tradition. I regularly make reference to biblical narratives.
