Roger Davison
Born in England,
Roger Davison has lived in Cornwall since 1987 and has work
in private collections, in UK.,
USA., Germany.
Unlike artists who concern themselves with the surface familiarity of
everyday scenes and environments, he illustrates the configurations of an
inner life which he experiences, experimenting with form, and colour, using
a variety of materials and media to work with this imagery.
He begins by making compelling marks upon the work surface, visualizing
images which evolve within the perimeter of the frame and on completion or
when ' just right ' are the result of a struggle to define
what he did not know at the outset. For him the act of painting and
mark making is fundamentally primitive, and liberating.
His pictures contain personal revelations, sometimes repeated over time and
always surprising, seeming to come from an inherent state of knowing,
which is best described as intuitive, magical, and entirely relevant,
incorporating elements that are timeless, inventive, and imbued with universal
appeal. The imagery which is predominantly figurative-abstraction is archetypal
and often appears unresolved allowing unintentional and unaltered content to
lend a more complex narrative to each piece of work. A small selection of which are on view here. For further information please use the email contact form at the end of 'Gallery continued' , thankyou.
