Rob Davies is a contemporary visual artist whose work deals with a variety of themes. His often gestural expressionist-like approach displays a deft handling of mediums and mark-making, and the work often suggests a pull between immediacy or spontaneity, and a layered, ‘sophisticated’ approach. His work shows a particular interest in the conflicts between our perceptions of the rational and the absurd – or between reality and fiction, and has covered subjects ranging from myth to the native American Indian in the Hollywood movie, appropriating imagery from real life and also film and media. He has exhibited in various galleries around the UK and has work in private collections in the UK and overseas.
