Richard Knight

Otway & Orford are proud to collaborate with contemporary artist Richard Knight on our stylish and unique Spitfire inspired silk pocket square, ‘Lone Fighter’ as well as our WW2 fighter inspired 'American Patrol'.

After being brought up on a farm in Cornwall, Richard went to study design and illustration at Kingston University. Having enjoyed a career as an illustrator and graphic designer, he took the decision to become a full-time artist and success has followed. Richard brings his energetic style to the familiar including urban landscapes, figures and iconic machines, with planes an area of particular fascination since boyhood as evidenced by our two pocket squares. The technique of layers of mark making, texture, pattern and non-traditional colours combined with a natural observational drawing style brings a fresh perspective to the interpretation of Richard’s subject matter.
