Communitas Lecture Series: Len Davis
Artist Statement: I work in assemblage, collage, drawing and works on paper which revolves around themes of everyday life issues we encounter with the human figure present. My concepts vary from emotional expressions, responses or outcome ( anger, chance, fear, happiness, hate, hurt, jealousy, love, regret, risk, vulnerability etc...), identity, perception, coping within the human condition etc... I have eclectic taste. My style is a combination of several elements with heavy emphasis on illustration, mixed media and vibrant colors with the human figure in an action-type, comic book, expressive pose and/or movie poster-like look & feel. It’s like a pizza with everything on it. Once you take that first bite, you’re inundated with flavor. And that’s what I strive for in my work. Because life hits you all at once. I occasionally insert my past experiences in my art. I believe that some of my experiences, in some cases, parallels to others for a sense of relatability. My premise is to lure the viewer in. Once they’re in, they will be placed in a position to reflect on and question their ethics, be it disquieting or placid.
