F G 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 provides a window into the imagination, revealing dark and light through the artists areas of rich colour and intricate detail. 

 

"I used the title of a dream in this painting as it references an imaginative landscape in which dangerous creatures lurk, strong winds blow and periodic windows of light are visible. A parallel with the state of the changing and tumultuous world in 2020 is inevitable, though ours vivid dreams will continue to permiate our sleep and waking lives, today and in the unforeseeable future, whatever that holds."
