FG Davis
Frederick George Davis is a leading contemporary artist who has exhibited widely in the UK and internationally, sharing his time between his homes in Devon and the South of France.
Known principally for his exquisite use of colour, texture and pattern, he explores many and varied themes with acrylic, collage, watercolour, gouache and mixed media.
His work is unique in its diversity, encompassing a wide range of subject matter taken from his everyday experiences and memories, working in a full range of scales, from intricate detailed pieces to bold large works. Interpretations are often witty and playful, capturing the essence of his starting points with a keen perceptive insight, frequently completed as part of an extensive series of work which testify to his love of experimentation and his unerring ability to tantalise the viewers' imagination. His work retaining a painterly integrity which shines through.

This painting was chosen for inclusion in an online exhibition hosted by The Circle Foundation for the Arts in 2020. In the chaos of social and political uncertainty which has hit our major cities worldwide, small towns around the globe have had their communities significantly affected by the pandemic. Deserted streets, locked doors, closed shops, pubs, workplaces and children’s playgrounds. A palpable sense of anxiety and foreboding descended like a dark cloud on these previously carefree and welcoming communities.
