ABOUT THE ARTWORK
(Currently showing at the playing the race card "Black Joy" exhibition. Hastings Museum and art gallery. East Sussex. June - 25th August 2024). The joy in this work is my personal connection as a black artist to the figure drawn. Although many tribes paint their faces, the Southern Nuba tribe make themselves into art: the aesthetic is not for war or ritual, it is a celebration of their own black beauty. They may change their artistic creation up to twice a day and villages compete for the most decorative and intricate designs. There is a surreal and beautiful poetry for a black male artist to make an image of an indigenous black tribesman who has made himself into art. This brings about an invisible but intergenerationally powerful thread of connection between us. It closes the gap between history and the present and between east and west.

Michael K Davis
United Kingdom
Michael Davis is a British born artist who has also lived in France. He was classically trained at London Fine Art Studios. His geode inspired collection of abstracts takes inspiration from the processes of nature, in particular the way that aesthetic beauty can be the result of intense external pressure and chemical synthesis. Initially, Davis was sparked by a love of malachite; the depth of the various greens, the dynamic frilling of the strata. This developed into a wider investigation into the formation of other geodes, representing their banding and colour fluctuations in oils, acrylics and digitally. Davis currently has a studio in Hastings, where he continues to explore figurative as well as abstract work.
