Michael Knigin Landscape Paintings

American, 1942-2011

Michael Knigin, painter, printmaker, muralist, photographer, and teacher, was born in Brooklyn, New York on December 9, 1942. He received his BFA in 1966 from the Tyler School of Art, Temple University in Philadelphia. In 1964 he was awarded a Ford Foundation Grant, which enabled him to study printmaking at the Tamarind Lithography Workshop and collaborate with Rufino Tamayo. Knigin was a full professor at the Pratt Graphic Center in Manhattan between 1967 and 2003. From 1968 through 1972, he also co-owned and directed the Chiron Press where he worked with Andy Warhol, Louise Nevelson, Kenneth Noland, Larry Poons, and Tom Wesselman. In 1974, he served as Art and Technical Director of the Burston Graphics Art Centre in Jerusalem. In 1988, Knigin was appointed to the NASA Art Team and was sent to the Kennedy Space Center to visually interpret the launch of the space shuttle Discovery. In 1991, Nasa recalled him to interpret the touchdown of the space shuttle Atlantis. Knigin's works were exhibited widely and are in numerous permanent collections including the Albright-Knox Museum, Brooklyn Museum, Carnegie Mellon Institute, Cooper Hewitt Museum, Library of Congress, McNay Museum, Mexico City Museum of Modern Art, Portland Museum of Art, Smithsonian Museum of American Art, Whitney Museum of American Art, and the Worchester Museum of Art. With Murray Zimiles, Knigin co-authored The Technique of Fine Art Lithography in 1969, and Contemporary Lithographic Workshops around the World in 1974. Michael J. Knigin died on January 19, 2011.

Inflatable Dolphin Painting in Tropical Jungle River Contemporary Pink Balloon
Inflatable Dolphin Painting in Tropical Jungle River Contemporary Pink Balloon

Inflatable Dolphin Painting in Tropical Jungle River Contemporary Pink Balloon

By Sofía Cristina Jiménez

Located in FISTERRA, ES

Contemporary tropical painting featuring a pink inflatable dolphin floating in a jungle river landscape, combining vibrant nature imagery with balloon animal aesthetics. This acrylic on Belgian linen painting by Sofía Cristina Jiménez presents a metallic pink dolphin depicted as an inflatable, balloon-like figure suspended above a calm tropical river. The work belongs to the Plastic Nature series, where animal forms are reinterpreted through synthetic visual language, introducing a subtle dialogue between natural ecosystems and artificial presence. Set within a dense jungle environment, the composition is built through layered greens, soft water reflections, and controlled atmospheric depth. The inflatable dolphin contrasts sharply with its surroundings through its smooth, reflective surface and saturated pink color, creating a focal point that is both playful and visually striking. This contrast reinforces the coexistence of organic and manufactured forms without resorting to overt narrative. The dolphin — a widely recognized and emotionally resonant animal — becomes here a transformed object, shifting from living being to constructed image. Its balloon-like condition introduces associations with lightness, leisure, and consumption, while its placement within a tropical river landscape suggests a quiet displacement rather than direct conflict. Within the Plastic Nature series, these inflatable animal figures operate as mediators between contemporary visual culture and ecological environments. This tropical dolphin painting...
