The archive
All artwork
Every drawing and collage in the Gerald Allen Knowles archive, each with its own story, medium and place. All are available as made-to-order fine art prints, shipped worldwide.
Abbaye aux Dames, Saintes
Ink and wash on paper · Saintes, France
A Romanesque abbey in south-west France, drawn from the square in a single morning. The tiered bell tower is set out with the construction lines still showing, while diluted ink carries the shadow down the west front.
Guggenheim Museum Bilbao
Mixed-media collage · Bilbao, Spain
Gehry's titanium curves rendered in torn metallic paper and ink, so the surface of the print behaves the way the building behaves in Basque light — reflective one moment, matte the next.
Church of San Juan Bautista de Baños
Collage and ink · Baños de Cerrato, Spain
One of the oldest churches on the Iberian peninsula, rebuilt in paper. Torn ochre fragments stand in for the Castilian plain while the horseshoe arch is left as clean drawing.
Volcanic Landscape of Fuerteventura
Ink and wash on paper · Fuerteventura, Canary Islands
A whitewashed chapel dug into a volcanic slope above the Atlantic. Lava blacks and ochres against lime white — a landscape print with real weight rather than prettiness.
The Blue Boat That Dreams of Sea
Ink and wash on paper · Atlantic coast
A working boat pulled up and left among the plants for a season, drawn where the harbour meets the town. Calm, blue-led coastal wall art with an architect's sense of line.
