About The Artwork
For this painting I juxtaposed two styles together to create an interpretation of the strolling canal scenery of Venice in a semi abstract way that also feels epic in aura. Everything is a heightened statement of pure emotion towards experiencing and feeling the beauty of the city. In this ecstatic state of bliss, it is a rare moment where scale, logical order and time do not matter or fit, just the explosive and indescribable nature of the experience. In this ballet of colour and shape, the windows are not orderly, but blend in and out of each other as if the bliss has not yet made sense of the beauty. The same goes for the gondolas, which seem so much larger than life, and which out-scale the sailors. The gnarled texture of the buildings is given centre stage and shown up close, allowing the rough imperfection to display it’s own beauty. This weathered colour palette bleeds out across the scene in a glorious explosion and celebration, reflected back by the fiery hues of the water.

United Kingdom
Phil Davis studied Fine Art and Sculpture at Loughborough University, completing his degree in 2004. An accomplished draughtsman, Phil initially presented scenic depictions and travel experiences in pencil and oil pastel, using intense, bold colours as a way of reflecting a childlike wonder in the new, and in a sense the extreme, sometimes uncomfortable emotional commitment involved in relating to the culturally unfamiliar. Changing to working largely with oils resulted in work of much greater vibrancy, and allowed the extreme emotional sensations in which he was interested to be committed more successfully to canvas. His work now strives to acknowledge both the positive and negative energies, the good and the bad consequences, of these emotions, and how they inform our view of the world around us. More and more he attempts to inject the same feeling into his portrait/figurative work by representing the figurative form as an emotionally charged contradiction, as a twisted and gnarled yet beautiful representation of pain and raw feeling, as well as an object of pure physicality.
