Ruari Knott is an artist who graduated from Fine Art at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, Dundee, in 2023. During his degree show, he was awarded with the Generator Projects Prize and Bernard Cooper Memorial Prize. He is currently studying for an MA in Arts, Festival and Cultural Management at Queen Margaret University alongside his practice.
His work primarily involves prints and projected video, which are his preferred mediums. Knott is particularly interested in the intersection of traditional printmaking and the digital world. His artistic ideas are heavily influenced by fundamental human interactions, historical and imminent experiences, and his own memories. Central to his work is a reflection on imagery and its relationship to his personal experiences, with a constant incorporation of new perspectives into his art.
Work created for RSA New Contemporaries features a freestanding screenprint based on an event experienced during a childhood holiday, accompanied by a video depicting events of the experience through intertwining the print and projection.
