Knob Hill Strut (2024) is small in scale but electric in presence—an audacious moment caught mid-step, somewhere between whimsy and documentary. Jonas Stirner distills the absurdity and charm of everyday life into a single, unforgettable interaction: a rooster, proud and unbothered, crosses paths with a woman strolling past a packed market stall. It’s surreal, it’s cinematic, and it’s real.

This piece doesn’t posture—it plays. The composition is minimal, almost sparse, giving the two central figures room to breathe, to perform. Stirner’s textures give the surface a timeworn grit, grounding the absurdity in a sense of truth. You can almost hear the cluck, the footsteps, the buzz of casual commerce in the background.

At just 11 inches square, Knob Hill Strut proves you don’t need a large canvas to make a bold statement. This is a conversation piece with a pulse—quirky, observational, and filled with confident restraint. It’s perfect for collectors who value narrative, humor, and the uncanny poetry of being in the right place at the right time.
