Geran Knol is a multidisciplinary artist from the Netherlands, currently living and working in Antwerp, Belgium. His work consists of drawings, paintings, sound and sculptural work. He is also involved in Park Pardon, a collaboration with Bloeme van Bon. He received a BA in Illustration at ArtEZ Hogeschool voor de Kunsten in Zwolle (the Netherlands) in 2012 and a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas in Antwerp (Belgium) in 2015.

His work is an ever evolving research on shape and form. In Knol’s image a recurrent figure becomes part of its surroundings and doesn’t take on a personification. He often works in series where he limits himself to certain rules of play. With those limitations he researches possible variations which then lead to new ideas. For Knol a drawing carries a similar importance to a painting, and he often refers to previous work when working with a new medium. Even though his practice generally takes a two-dimensional format, the haptic qualities of the materials are very relevant in the making of a final image.

His work has been exhibited in several solo and group exhibitions such as “With A Silent Drum” at L21 Gallery (Palma de Mallorca, 2021), “Plaatjes & Praatjes” at Willem II Fabriek (Den Bosch, 2019), “AppointMENT” at MENT (Ljubljana, 2019), “Unclear Clarity” at ABC Klubhuis (Antwerp, 2017), “Double Bubble” at Inuit (Bologna, 2015), “Illustrative” at Direktorenhaus (Berlin, 2015), “The Considered Cabinet of Deliberate Thoughts” exhibition with Park Pardon (Antwerp, 2015), “Winterslaap” exhibition with Park Pardon, Kornél (Antwerp, 2014) and “Trans-Atlantic Texas” at Big Medium (Austin, Texas, 2013).
