In 2010 I was introduced to young guy known mainly for his crazy behavior and uncontrollable urges, but below all this was an incredibly talented and extremely motivated artist. For years Knarf had been painting any surface he could find in Salzburg. In 2011 he began a project where he committed himself to drawing in his sketch book at least once a day, often collaborating with local and international artists he would meet. The books filled up fast, incorporating collage, painting, drawing, stencils, portraitures, woodworking, and much more, proving Knarfs commitment to all mediums. Now its the year of the Dragon and it’s time for Knarf to present his project to the world. In his first attempt at layouting, Knarf has managed to compress all three sketchbooks into one limited edition hardcover. The book documents all of the artists activities during the year (well all the art related ones…) and includes pages from his original sketch books, paintings of walls and more.
We are extremely excited the young and super talented artist Knarf will be having his first solo show atINOPERAbLE this Friday. The show entitled “365 Bildgeschichten” will feature 12 canvases, one for each month, and the release of his book, limited to 365 copies. Each book is numbered with a date of the year, if you are interested in reserving a specific date, please email us and we will check if it’s still available. They are going fast so dont delay! We look forward to seeing you Friday, January 27th, at INOPERAbLE
