Paul Davis (b. 1938) "Most of these works have been private, done to refresh and create surprise for myself. I try to empty my mind, put down a line, see what it suggests, and go from there, experimenting with techniques and process. In their making, I learn a lot.”
~Paul Davis
Paul Davis is known for his iconic images for posters, theaters, and museums. Kurt Vonnegut praised Davis’ work as “theater itself.”
In 1968 he was invited by Galerie Delpire in Paris to have his first solo exhibition of paintings, and in 1977, Gilles deBure, curator of the Galerie d'Actualité in the Centre Georges Pompidou, presented a solo exhibition of Davis's work as part of the museum's opening festivities. His distinctive paintings and posters for advertising, publishing and entertainment have been the subject of museum and gallery exhibitions throughout Japan, Italy, and cities around the U.S.
