Silke Otto-Knapp, Voyage out Exhibition period 10th of March � 30th of April 2011 Opens Thursday the 10th of March 6.30 to 8.30pm Silke Otto-Knapp will present a group of new paintings for her third solo show at greengrassi. Voyage out takes its title from the eponymous first novel by Virginia Woolf, published in 1915, chronicling a young woman�s journey by sea. For the show, Otto-Knapp explores the illumination of moonlight within spaces familiar in her work. Gardens, landscapes and stagesets are defined by diffuse light and soft shadow produced by the moon. Effected by a complex layering of reflective metallic and muted watercolours and gouache, Otto-Knapp�s canvases simultaneously obscure and reveal. Silke Otto-Knapp was born in 1970 in Osnabr�ck, Germany. Otto-Knapp has exhibited extensively in the UK and abroad at venues including Kunstverein Munich, Munich (2010); Kunsthall Oslo, Oslo (2010); Migros Museum, Z�rich (2010); and Modern Art Oxford, Oxford (2009). Her exhibition, Lilac Garden (Rehearsal), will be on view at Sadler's Wells Theatre, London until the 29th of April 2011. Otto-Knapp lives and works in London. greengrassi 1a Kempsford Road (off Wincott Street) London SE11 4NU t: +44 (0) 20 7840 9101 f: +44 (0) 20 7840 9102 Tube: Kennington, Lambeth North Buses: 3,159,59,155,133,333 For further information please contact [email protected].
