Episode Ep 40 John Ward Knox
In this episode, I visit John Ward Knox at his home, studio and garden in Karitane.
John holds a Master of Fine Arts from the Elam School of Fine Arts at the University of Auckland.
He has work held in numerous public and private collections, including the Chartwell collection, the Pah Homestead collection and the Govett-Brewster Gallery collection, he has exhibited in over 35 solo or group shows, and has been the recipient of several art awards and residencies, including being the The Francis Hodgkins Fellowship recipient in 2015.
He is represented by Robert Heald Gallery in Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Ivan Anthony in Auckland and Darren Knight Gallery in Sydney / Gadigal land.
There are images of the paintings that we talk about on The Good Oil John Ward Knox Instagram Post for your reference.
You’ll hear John speak about the pace and footprint he wants for himself and the practice, the active role of writing as a parallel to works and exhibitions, a belief that his role as an artist is to create space for someone to exist, but also how viewers can implicate themselves in the duration, or destruction, of the objects that he creates, his relationship to rural, small town and big city Aotearoa, and how he managed to sustain eight years of painting from a single $38 tube of paint.
