On Friday May 11, he will be stepping into the limelight and in front of the cameras to open the exhibition by Tony Edwards, a self-confessed gipsy of the Sydney suburbs. The exhibition will be at the ArtSHINE Gallery at 172 St. John's Road, Glebe.
Knott will be at the ArtSHINE Gallery between 6-8pm on May 11 giving admirers of his work a chance to get up close and personal with the artist.
Edwards' solo event coincides with the prestigious 9th annual Head On Photography Festival in Sydney which begins May 4. It is a packed programme of exciting exhibitions, workshops and talks presented by a mix of Australian and international talent.
Edwards is a Fine Arts Photographer whose images deal with thoughts and expressions on how he sees the world.
The announcement that Adam will be opening the event is a major coup for the ArtSHINE Gallery, given his high profile in the photographic world.
Knott's award-winning portrait and fine artwork have appeared in Esquire, Stern, GQ, Vibe, Time, Entertainment Weekly, The Sunday Times Magazine, People, Harpers Bazaar, Marie Claire and The Independent.
His high-end celebrity portraits include Audrey Hepburn, Cate Blanchett, Shirley MacLaine, Whoopi Goldberg, Jeff Bridges, Nelson Mandela, Alice Cooper, Chris Isaak, Michael Caine and Joel Edgerton to name a few.
His work is also in the permanent collections of major galleries and museums such as The National Gallery, The National Portrait Gallery, The National Library, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Monash Gallery of Art, and the Museum of Political Studies.
Knott also combines his portrait and fine art skills for use in photojournalism assignments where his high energy and compassion for the subject result in an original perspective.
This work has taken him to the Tiananmen Square student demonstrations, China; the struggle of HIV Positive orphans in Romania; Nazi Concentration camps of Poland; Waitresses of America; Depression in the western world; abandoned babies of America, and the tragedies of Vietnamese refugee camps in Hong Kong.
Knott is now based in Australia's Blue Mountains, from where he travels doing corporate and personal work.
Bankstown-born Edwards has developed a lifelong association with photography since the late 60s and has gone on to critical success in the corporate and commercial worlds, as well as having images featured in various magazines, album and book covers.
On his solo exhibition, he commented: " The images I now produce are an interconnection between light and shade."
"I am a product of Sydney as I lived in 23 different houses before I turned 18. From the western suburbs to North Shore and the Blue Mountains to the Hills District, I feel I am a true gipsy of Sydney."
As well as exhibiting at Head On, his work will also be showcased among a host of talented Australian artists at New York's Surtex Show.
Sydney's art hub, ArtSHINE, will be helping to represent Tony and the 20-other talented artists at Surtex, the global B2B marketplace for sourcing original art & design.
ArtSHINE will be participating for the time and representing Australia at Surtex which runs from May 20-22. ArtSHINE s vision is to bring their work to a global stage and connect their art to the licensees, manufacturers and art directors who resonate with their works, and license them into products such as greeting cards, stationery, prints and merchandise."¨
