“My impulse to make art results in an abundance of new paintings and drawings produced daily in the studio. Many times a new daily batch of paintings requires that I paintover the previous day’s finished work. This process results in pieces that are immediateand visceral: thick layers of paint conceal the history of painting underneath. By reworking each painting, I build up an impasto whose edges reveal the collective history of the piece.”
ARTIST BIO: Curtis Davis, a V+V artist, dismisses unnecessary embellishments, abstracting subjects to the simplest of shapes. The resulting composition locks shapes into the architecture of form, glued together with layer upon layer of paint.
