The limited edition print series are a "revisited" version of drawings, that Knoke turned into silkscreen prints. The motives of the drawings, who are originally drawn in black and white, are getting a new interpretation by editing the motives, using colored paper or adding paint by hand. Robert Knoke gained worldwide recognition over the past ten years for his large-scale drawings of personalities shaping contemporary culture. He explores the genre of portraiture and its role in an era dominated by photography, redefining the genre for the 21st century.

Note: The full tile is "Transform The Past Into A Mirror Too Light The Present. T.K. (Terence Koh) 2007/2019. It is a poem by Terence Koh that he gave Robert Knoke to use for this work.
