Jasper Knight brings an unmistakable contemporary edge to Australian painting. A multi-time finalist in the Archibald, Wynne and Sulman Prizes and represented in the National Gallery of Australia, his work fuses pop-art sensibilities with industrial subject matter. Rather than glamour, Knight elevates the overlooked — beams, bridges, machinery and lighthouses found on the fringes of the city — translating them into vivid, tactile compositions.

'Long Gully Bridge' exemplifies this shift. Executed in gloss acrylic, enamel and perspex on aluminium and plywood, it delivers Knight’s signature clash of bright, flat colour-blocking, expressive drips and sculptural texture. The result is a work that feels bold, cool and unmistakably urban. Visually striking and materially adventurous, this piece brings a dose of contemporary attitude to any setting and sits comfortably within collections of pop, urban and contemporary Australian art.
