Artist Profile: Cynthia Knapp

Cynthia Knapp continues to be a prominent non-objective, Atlanta-based artist in the United States. Her work can be seen in numerous public and private collections across the nation. The following (and many more) mixed-media pieces are available in our showroom:

Mixed-media, 3"x3" each

Pastel, graphite and watercolor

"Knapp's work develops dialectically: each new series of drawings and paintings both revisits transcends the formal and imagistic premises of earlier work. Knapp's ongoing concerns can be expressed in formal and thematic dichotomies whose terms she seeks to reconcile: line and color, flatness and dimensionality, figure and ground, abstraction and representation, tension and calm, conflict and resolution, order and chaos. Her works present new articulations of these oppositions and prospects for synthesis."

-Phillip Auslander, Atlanta, Georgia
