London's must-see exhibition of the moment.
A selection of pictures I took.
Noah Davis
It is his debut retrospective in the UK. The work of the late African American artist is celebrated here as his expansive creativity is exposed.
"Noah Davis appears as one of the most original and uncanny painters emerging in recent years."
Noah Davis created a body of figurative paintings that explores a range of Black life, primarily based from Los Angeles.
Motivated by the desire to ‘represent the people' around him, Davis painted figures diving into pools, sleeping, dancing, and looking at art in scenes that can be both realistic and dreamlike, joyful and melancholic.
Davis drew from anonymous photography, personal archives, film, art history and his imagination to create a ravishing body of work. Often enigmatic, his paintings reveal a deep feeling for humanity and the emotional textures of the everyday.
In 2012, Davis also co-founded The Underground Museum to give free access to world-class art for the people of Arlington Heights, LA.
