About This Work

Part of a collection of three; this piece was created as a result of falling in love. Realising a huge part of that feeling was vulnerability and exposure.

About the Artist

Ella Knott is a self-taught, London-based artist. Her paintings are largely inspired by a craving for human connection and intimacy. Born in 1998, she has witnessed a world that has shifted from frequent eye contact, conversations with strangers, and spontaneous socialising to one defined by solitude, distraction, and disengagement. She carries a kind of perpetual homesickness for the world she remembers growing up in. Her work aims to transport both herself and the viewer back to a time of connection – of parties, of closeness, of unfiltered fun. Fun… something she feels we are slowly losing.

Life now often feels regimented, optimised, and experienced in small doses. She believes we have lost some of the freedom to be messy, chaotic, and fully present. Through her paintings, she hopes to inspire people to ‘look up’, to turn away from the screens saturating their daily lives and start a conversation with someone beside them.
