Knecht received his M.F.A. from the University of Georgia. Working directly from a live model in his studio, he seeks to render and discover the “internalized reality” that he sees manifest in the sitter’s external features. Responding to these perceived qualities, Knecht renders forms from a perspective that is as abstract as it is figurative. Elements in the painting such as color, line and sheer “painterliness” align with human form to evoke the sitter’s psychology and physicality.
