We are thrilled to bring the work of Atlanta artist, Cynthia Knapp, to Pryor Fine Art.
Cynthia's work is online, and hanging in the gallery. Come by and take a look.
About Cynthia:
"The imagery in my work is grounded in examining the abstract nature and relationship of various earthly, organic forms, often from unusual vantage points. Some of the imagery is totally abstract and some has a figurative reference.
The human form provides an arena for exploring the interconnectedness and inherent visual tension between figure and ground, invoking a responsive assimilation that we all can readily grasp. If we can imagine the body’s reaction to varying extremities--subjected to a stronger force of gravity or total weightlessness, moving through a resistant, gelatinous mass, elongated in the fluid movements of a circus contortionist, or perhaps endowed with a supernatural burst of strength--an exaggerated, anatomical image emerges. This image in turn impacts its immediate environment, both affecting it and being affected by it. I am interested in that interaction between the positive space of the image and the negative space surrounding it."
