Biography

Sebastiaan Knot, born in Groningen, Netherlands in 1970, is a Dutch artist revolutionizing photography from his Rotterdam studio. He uniquely uses light not just to illuminate but as the main subject, drawing inspiration from the 1960s Light and Space movement. In his work, Knot forgoes digital manipulation, creating illusory geometries through a careful arrangement of simple shapes and colored studio lighting.

 

Knot’s technique involves simultaneous illumination, crafting images that blend scattered light, shadow, and vivid colors. This approach not only generates unique visuals but also challenges the viewer's perception of reality. Knot's art transcends physicality, inviting viewers into a realm of vibrant abstraction and sensory exploration.
