  The title, Violent Grace, suggests a paradox. This pairing has become an unexpected gateway into the varied and prolific artistic career of Edward Knippers. Violence conjures images of aggression while grace has long been associated with beauty, poise, or an unmerited gift. Within the ambiguity of this fertile paradox, the art of Edward Knippers opens up into something rich and rewarding.
