Jonathan Knight is probably one of the finest animaliers alive today with a seemingly effortless ability to capture the spirit of the wild creature he sculpts and somehow incorporates movement and repose at the same time. Successfully scuplting since the 70`s. There are many who have tried to follow his style.

Jonathan Knight is one of the leading equestrian and racehorse artists of his generation. He first established his reputation with the statue of Dawn Run at Cheltenham Racecourse, consolidated it with the much admired life size bronze of Music Boy at Cheveley Park Stud.
Whilst continuing to practice this side of his work, a life lived in the Sussex Countryside was the cause of a shift in focus towards the study of form and movement in both animals and birds.
In a quest to distil the essential spirit of an animal or bird, he strips away the distraction of detail and creates fluid, tactile images with warmth and soul. The characteristic life spark captured and held in bronze.
Public and private commissions gladly considered.
