Hugh Davies
With nearly three dozen one person and group exhibitions to his credit in major galleries and museums throughout Britain, France, Germany, Australia and the United States, Davies’ provocative, haunting images have been widely acclaimed in myriad reviews and articles. An acknowledged master of his craft, Davies received his Master of Fine Arts from the Chelsea School of Art, and was selected for membership in the London Group and appointed a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts.
In discussing his work, the artist states: It is the perennial that interests me, rather than the temporary. I see the history of art and representation in the same way as Borges who wrote that “it may be that universal history is the history of the different intonations given to a handful of metaphors.” For me art is the combination of individual experience and collective ideas – very much “a handful of metaphors” given “different intonations.”
