SynopsisPublished to coincide with the exhibitions Standing anywhere in the space in a relaxed position, Walter Philips Gallery, Banff (July 25 - September 27, 2009); and Present time exercise, Modern Art Oxford, Oxford(July 4 - September 13, 2009); this fully illustrated monograph surveys Otto-Knapp's paintings from 2003 to 2009. Unlike traditional watercolourists Silke Otto-Knapp paints on canvas, which allows her to repeatedly wash down her images, and rework them layer by layer, in order to create pictures of great translucency and delicacy. Present Time Exercise is co-produced with Modern Art Oxford., Rendered in pallid, ghostly tones, Silke Otto-Knapp's watercolors and gouaches recall turn-of-the-century painters such as Bakst, or children's illustrators like Arthur Rackham. Her delicately delineated vignettes of encounters, dances and isolate doings seem to take place beyond a veil, in a submarine realm of amphitheaters and botanical gardens. Present Time Exercise surveys her work from the past five years.
