Powder Monkey by Carl Knapper in Leeds
Powder Monkey
‘In the midst of Algeria’s struggle for independence from France, 15-year old Simeon Abu is determined to find out where his Father’s true loyalties lie amid a world of treachery, discrimination and torture.’ An extract from the synopsis of the forthcoming book, for which I had the pleasure to create the front cover.
Opportunities like this don’t come up that often, so when I was contacted by the very talented author Dan Douglass I was more than happy to oblige. Having discussed the story and the direction he wanted to take it, it was agreed that the theme needed to dramatise the relationship between the father and son and their own internal struggles. It is a simple, hard hitting visual which draws the reader in for the amazing narrative inside.
Meet the Artist
Leeds, United KingdomI create wall murals and canvas art, as well as undertaking commercial marketing projects. They are all about escapism and the freedom to explore. I love creating something out of nothing.
My mural clients range from advertising agencies to home commissions, whilst through my marketing projects I’ve been fortunate enough to work with The Royal British Legion, Samsung, Asda, Ocado, Canon and Wejo, amongst others.
My canvas art brings different realities together, combining themes that are worlds apart. Yet, when interlinked, they deliver a unique narrative. This synthesis of opposing ideas can reflect my feelings, my reaction to a specific object, what’s happening to me in the moment or what’s going on in the wider world.
I have two distinct styles – one a contemporary crosshatch style which gives me meticulous control of the detail, and the other a bolder, simplified line-work approach that suits a different type of storytelling. I tend to work in black and white, sometimes adding a limited colour palette to help enhance a key part of the story.
