Silke Otto-Knapp
Mutina fondly remembers Silke Otto-Knapp (Germany, 1970 – U.S., 2022), 2020 This Is Not a Prize-winning artist who passed away prematurely in 2022.
This is Not a Prize 2020 has been assigned to artist Silke Otto-Knapp (Osnabrueck, 1970).
Her paintings represent harmonious pictorial choreographies where figures are interpreters of a sophisticated dialogue with the space of the canvas. Silke Otto-Knapp can be considered an “artists’ artist” because of her role as a reference among the younger generation both in terms of expression and conceptual language and research.
The artist has been selected by the Mutina team, by its CEO Massimo Orsini and by the curator of Mutina for Art Sarah Cosulich, following a consideration on the importance and visibility that painting has recently reacquired.
