JACK DAVIS, ARTIST

I got to know Jack Davis and his art whilst visiting the renowned seaside artists' colony of St Ives, Cornwall, with my students.  My students were involved in  curating small group exhibitions with Livingstone St Ives Gallery and Jack's tremendous seascapes were selected by several of the groups.

Jack graduated from Falmouth University in 2012 and has been painting professionally ever since. He lives and works near St. Just, painting the rugged West Penwith landscape between Sennen Cove and St. Ives.

Jack recently became a member of the St. Ives Society of Artists, has been a tutor at the renowned Newlyn School of Art since 2016, and the Aesthetica Art Prize named him as one of the Future Now 100 contemporary artists

'The West Penwith peninsula is at the end of the line, remote, rugged, and embodied with an ancient primal majesty. Living in such an impressionable environment evokes plenty of inspiration on a daily basis: I am drawn to the raw power of the natural environment and the sublime effect of light. I harness the impulsive energy of my subject matter and create order out of chaos like the landscape I inhabit.' (Jack Davis)

 

Jack has a solo show, 'Cornish Light' at Livingstone St Ives from 7-21 April, 2023
