GERALD DAVIS

b. 1974, Pittsburg, PA, USA

Gerald Davis Iives and works in Los Angeles. He was included in USA TODAY, at the Royal Academy of Art in 2006, and his work is in the collection of the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York and the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles. Also participation in the group show “Paper” at The Saatchi Gallery 2013.

To create these often excruciatingly personal images, Davis, begins by drawing in pencil, then goes over the lines with pastels, moving between the two until the image is saturated with one dominant color and the pencil can be erased. The results are incredibly precise drawings, in which strands of hair on a head or veins on a penis are depicted with a disconcerting accuracy.
