Curved Moon

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.

His use of cotton calico on this box canvas adds texture on which to apply acrylic paint. The work comes UV varnish protected, ready to hang in a handmade white wood floater frame.

'' This piece is heavily influenced by my love of modernism and the Bauhaus in particular. I carefully composed the composition to emphasise the use of contrasting primaries as well as subtle variations of mixed whites. Perfect for a minimalist interior setting.''
