There isn’t much information on the internet about G.Knight’s (formerly known as Graffiti Knight) street work. His personal and Facebook pages feature almost exclusively his studio work. His Instagram page was the only online site where a significant quantity of his street work could be viewed, but the artist stopped being active in the streets after 2015.

The artist’s favourite media on the streets during his active years were essentially wheatpastes, stickers and stencil. As far as I know he has never done any murals nor smaller painted pieces, other than his Darth Vader stencils.

Il est relativement difficile de trouver le street art de G.Knight (anciennement Graffiti Knight) sur l’internet. Ses pages personnelle et Facebook présentent presque exclusivement son travail de studio. Sa page Instagram était le seul endroit où une quantité significative de son oeuvre publique pouvait être vue, mais l’artiste a arrêté d’être actif dans la rue après 2015.

Pendant sa période active l’artiste semblait préférer les oeuvres collées, que ce soit sous forme de wheatpastes et stickers, ainsi que les stencils. Au meilleur de ma connaissance, il n’est l’auteur d’aucune murale ou oeuvre peinte majeure.

the Darth Vader series

Over the summer of 2014 about 30 stencilled Darth Vader heads appeared here and there on the sidewalks and alley entrances in the Plateau and Mile End. Each head was done in a different colour scheme, enticing some people to play ‘collect them all’ and photograph each one they encountered. Some pieces were signed “Enjoy G Knight”, others not. Coincidence or not, most heads were done at the entrance of alleys where street art could be found, as if the pop culture villain was posted there to protect the contents within. Wheatpastes featuring the same design also appeared on the walls of Plateau End and Mile End at about the same time.

Une trentaine de pochoirs de la tête de Darth Vader sont apparus sur les trottoirs et entrées de ruelle du Plateau et de Mile End au cours de l’été 2014. Chaque tête a été produite avec une combinaison de couleurs différentes, poussant certains amateurs de street art à les collectionner en photo. Certaines de ces pièces étaient signées “Enjoy G Knight”, d’autres non. Ceci pourrait être une coincidence, mais l’artiste semble avoir privilégié des emplacements au sol menant à des endroits où se trouve une quantité intéressante d’art public, comme si le méchant héros y était posté pour garder ce qui se trouvait à proximité. Des affiches collées présentant la même tête de Darth Vader sont apparues sur les murs du même quartier à peu près au même moment.
