These Fragile Things

London based Curious Duke Gallery is proud to announce the solo show of artist Kate Knight, These Fragile Things. Working within the contemporary baroque movement, Knight will lavish the Whitecross Street gallery space with rich watercolours, gold, and epic tales of mythology and Mother Nature this March 3-26.

Curious Duke Gallery will showcase the work of Marmite Art Prize winner Kate Knight, as she takes on the emerging contemporary baroque and rococo movement. Heavily influenced by the history of these art movements, Knight has brought forward associations with prosperity and mirth from the Baroque period and the move toward the decorative during the Rococo period. Into this, Knight works her own concerns of matriarchal identity with the She Wolf mother of Romulus and Remus, whilst addressing Mother Nature and feminine strength. Working across large scale watercolours, ceramic sculptures of rococo symbolism and biro drawings that exalt in exquisite details of endangered animals, Knight’s solo show transports us away from urban East London.
