Tavin Davis

  • Tavin Davis’ paintings are best described as evocative residuals of the artist’s desire for solitude, found through landscape. Each brushstroke captures scenery that is relatively consistent, indexing the conditions of sunlight and cloudiness, but at the heart of Davis’ paintings are the moments of suspension that are not elusive but remarkably present on the surface. In those captivating paintings, in the negative of all that is excluded, Davis is able to capture the personal and social conditions that have pushed him to strive for that scene of solitude.
