A popular and acclaimed contemporary Welsh artist, David Knight was born in Essex in 1965, but has lived in Wales most of his life. He is currently living and working in Cardiff.
Knight studied Fine Art at the University of Wales Institute Cardiff and graduated with a BA in 1996. He paints the changing moods of the Welsh landscape, ghostly enigmatic figures and – the subject for which he is perhaps best-known, beautiful delicate nudes.
He is inspired by a long history of figurative painting; “I’ve always been influenced by figures, whoever painted them and in whatever form, but especially work by Rodin, John Singer Sargeant and Michelangelo “he says, “I love muscular human form. It’s sculptural in itself; I think most of my work is sculptural – I don’t know why I paint – I should be doing sculpture!”, he laughs. “I think the body is a fascinating and beautiful subject to work from, I never get bored of painting it”.
In recent years Knight has had regular shows at several major provincial galleries, including the Albany Gallery, Cardiff, St. David’s Hall, Cardiff – both Summer and Christmas exhibitions, the Wiseman Gallery, Oxford and the Campden Gallery, Gloucestershire.
He was voted “People’s Choice” in Welsh Artist of the Year 2000 and has won “Best Painting” at the 9th Annual St David’s Hall Christmas Exhibition. His work is both current and collectable.

This original oil on canvas depicts a single female nude, lying on a sheet on ruffled white linen. She is a brunette, white skinned, but tanned and her skin has a soft sheen. She lies on her side with her back to the viewer, breasts half hidden by her right arm, but her legs and bottom largely exposed. There is an undeniable tension in the painting, the subject looks up with a thoughtful expression and one wonders whether we have infringed on her modesty, or should admire her beauty.

- The Lady of the Cliffs, 1927. Nude Clifftop Sunbathing. French Arts Décoratifs.Located in Sutton Poyntz, DorsetAvailable for sale; this original oil painting is by the French artist Raymond Moritz and dates from 1927. The painting is presented and supplied in a sympathetic contemporary frame (which is shown in these photographs), mounted with new fixtures. The canvas and the painted surface have benefitted from cleaning and conservation, which was performed on our instruction, supervision and approval. This vintage painting is now in very good condition. It wants for nothing and is supplied ready to hang and display. The painting is signed lower left. A later dedication to “Louise” dated April 1942 in the artist’s hand is set around the earlier signing. Raymond Moritz was a French impressionist artist and illustrator. He was born in Paris on 8 July 1891. His family came from the Alsace region and were poor and Catholic. On his mother’s side, the Staubs were from Wihr-au-Val where they had been coopers for several generations. His uncle, Marie Clement Staub, was the founder in Canada of the Sisters of Saint Joan of Arc. Moritz fought during the Great War in the Picardy region of the Somme with the 2nd machine gunner company. He won the French 1914-1918 War medal with bronze palm attachment, which signifies that the awardee was mentioned in dispatches at army level. Moritz obviously created some art during the war because during the inauguration of the new town hall in the town of Albert he was congratulated by the French President, Albert Lebrun, and the British press for the paintings he had produced. Albert was the main town behind the lines for the Allies on the Somme battle fields...Category
