At the intersection of light, geometric abstraction, and the search for meaning, Sebastiaan Knot’s works offer a compelling visual exploration of time, perception, and human existence. His art, grounded in the manipulation of light and color, transforms these elements into dynamic forces that challenge and expand our understanding of the world around us. His latest creation takes center stage in our exhibition LIGHT – DARK – REPEAT, a profound journey through light and shadow.
Affectionately titled "Sebastiaan’s Rothko," this artwork exemplifies Knot’s ability to use luminous gradients and rich, earthy tones to evoke the iconic color fields of modern art while introducing a distinctive, almost sculptural depth. Through his meticulous use of colored studio lights and precise lens techniques, Knot creates an interplay of hues that shifts and evolves as the viewer engages with it. Each band of color softly blends into the next, inviting the viewer to lose themselves in its depth, evoking a sense of warmth and tranquility. At the intersection of light, geometric abstraction, and the search for meaning, Knot’s works offer a compelling exploration of time, perception, and human existence. His art, grounded in the manipulation of light and color, turns these elements into dynamic forces that challenge and expand our understanding of the world around us. Knot’s mastery of light lies in his ability to render it tangible, almost sculptural. Rejecting digital manipulation, he works entirely with analog methods, orchestrating studio lighting and filters to shape light as his primary material. This hands-on approach gives his work a tactile presence, where emotional depth meets technical precision, inviting viewers to step into the ever-shifting interplay of light and shadow. We are proud to showcase Sebastiaan Knot’s work for the first time at our Brussels gallery. This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to experience the profound interplay of light, color, and form that defines his artistic vision. Knot’s creations invite viewers into a world where light is not just seen but felt, immersing them in a transformative exploration of perception and emotion.
