Knight Moves
NOW Critic's Pick
By David Jager
Recipient of the OCAD's presidential medal for drawing and painting, Kris Knight has been a rising art star since graduating in 2003. Inspired by the kitsch of found second-hand painting, his works display a precocious command of technique and visual tension that strikes a delicate balance between the real, the surreal and the conceptual. Here Knight's trademark faces all wear different versions of the pompadour, a delicate hairdo all the rage in pre-Revolutionary France. The portraits balance androgynous caginess with alarming contemporary excess. Katharine Mulherin Contemporary Art Projects, 1086 Queen West, 416-537-8827. July 6 to 29.
