British artist Stephen Anthony Davids, has strived to combine drawing, painting and sculpture in signature graphic style to huge levels of success. Sensitive, humorous, passionate, his exploration of black identity, masculinity and history is embodied just as effectively in his smaller original drawings as they are in his large scale colourful paintings.
Drawing inspiration from found objects, wooden artefacts and most prominently his vast collection of Victorian ledger sheets, Davids’ incredibly contemporary style clashes delightfully with these historic pieces.
