Eloise Knight is a British painter (b.1999) . Eloise’s work explores nostalgia, memory, and the passage of time through the lens of antiques and sentimental objects. Drawing inspiration from the delicate porcelain animals, Knight examines the way these seemingly ordinary figures become vessels for personal and collective memory. Her paintings reflects on the shifting nature of recollection, where once-clear moments blur and transform over time. Through distortion, abstraction, and fragmented compositions, she reimagines familiar objects, mirroring the way nostalgia can be both vivid and elusive. By manipulating perspective and form, Knight captures the tension between permanence and impermanence, questioning how objects anchor us to the past while memories fade and evolve. Knight’s work invites viewers to reflect on their own relationship with sentimentality, family history, and the ways in which material objects preserve yet distort personal narratives. Through this exploration, she highlights the fragile balance between remembering and forgetting, creating pieces that feel at once intimate and universal.
