Born in Enkoping, Sweden, Knut is a Professor in Fine Arts/Digital Media at Tarleton State University. Knut received bachelor of the Arts from University of Georgia and a Master of Fine Arts from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He works with game design, photography, animation, video and sound – creations exhibited and screened worldwide including Sweden, Portugal, Germany and the United Sates. Knut’s work was published in the American national publication, Oculus, and he created Night Chicago, a commissioned portfolio for the city sponsored by Tanqueray Gin. Knut has a series of photographs that speaks to the process of aging, narratives inspired by individual stories of loved ones. This body of work exhibited at the Arts Atrium Gallery in New York and Jet Artworks Gallery in Washington, DC. His recent work focuses more on story-telling through animation: dark shorts that are often macabre, visuals that force the audience to suffer through brutal human and animal indignities, upfront and subsumed messages of morality, often with feminist undertones.
