Cambodia

F G Davis is a leading contemporary artist who has exhibited widely in the UK and internationally, sharing his time between his homes in Devon and the South of France.

 

Known principally for his exquisite use of colour, texture and pattern, he explores many and varied themes with acrylic, collage, watercolour, gouache and mixed media.

 

His work is unique in its diversity, encompassing a wide range of subject matter taken from his everyday experiences and memories, working in a full range of scales, from intricate detailed pieces to bold large works. Interpretations are often witty and playful, capturing the essence of his starting points with a keen perceptive insight, frequently completed as part of an extensive series of work which testify to his love of experimentation and his unerring ability to tantalise the viewers' imagination. His work retaining a painterly integrity which shines through.

This painting is a superb example of this artists mastery of line and colour combined with intricate detail and compositional impact. The artist writes:

 

‘This Piece is an abstracted interpretation of a visit I made to Cambodia in the April 2023. It principally documents my response to the rich foliage and vegetation of this fascinating and magical country, but details also suggest the journey that Cambodia has embarked upon; rebuilding its infrastructure after years of bitter conflict whilst yet still retaining its cultural and artistic identity.’

 

The work is completed on a deep edge primed Linen Canvas, fully UV Varnished, and comes complete with a custom-made white wood frame, ready to hang and signed front and back of work.
