Cerys Knighton Artist

 

Scarlet ibis with two separately cycling blue mushrooms inside their body. The bird has been drawn in pencil in bright shades of red and orange, with a black and brown long curved beak, and a bright blue eye. The mushrooms are a combination of black and grey ink pointillism as well as blue pencil.

Two Bodies

Pencil and ink pointillism, 2021

Cerys’s artwork reflects on bodily and emotional transformation from the perspective of bipolarity, drawing from both her own experiences and her doctoral research into the historic medical and cultural identity of bipolar. Cycles of decay and restoration are explored through different bodies, from human and wildlife to structures of the natural landscape. Bodies are amalgamated and contrasted in works on paper combining ink with pencil, and in sculptures combining acrylic on clay with driftwood and dried flowers. The use of pointillism hopes to create dual perspectives, inviting the viewer into the thousands of individual ink dots as they build into the artwork in contrast to softer textures of pencil.
