Hope - has many forms and many descriptions but normally, hope is something that we associate with the things that we wish for.
Painted at the Guyan Huaxing art residency program, “Hope” was the second in the series of 5 Knowsey Kid creations, By British Artist, Ben Growden
This particular image depicts Knowsey, standing at the doorway to his home, looking into the light. An abstract, textured painting that creates depth for the viewer.
Ben says: I wanted to create a series that sparked the imagination. A lot of my first Knowsey Kid images, were sketches or digitally creations in a lighter and more positive manner but Being at this residency gave me the chance to reflect and look deeper into the back story of my own emotions and with that, I wanted to get closer to my reality.
Knowsey is essentially my childhood imaginary friend, so where ever he exists, I believe there’s a lesson that he teaches and this lesson is to not just hold hope for yourself but to put yourself in the shoes of someone who stands looking into the unknown. How does it feel? what does it look like?
It’s only when we relate to others that we are reminded of the real feeling of hope and that’s what I wanted to portray in this image.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business.
Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world.
