Current Artist with work at Main Street Gallery


Steven Davis

Artists Statement
My art practice has drawn on many sources but the underlying threads that persist and continue to interest me revolve around the urban landscape, our built environment and man made objects that reflect who we are as individuals and as a society. I aim to not only describe a place but to instil the work with the feelings and emotions of situation, and the people that occupy a particular space. I often use visual metaphor, symbolism and conceptual art to achieve these goals.

I have worked with a variety of media over the years including drawing, painting, sculpture, ceramics, installation and performance art. My core practice has gradually focused on drawing and painting though I feel that the medium of choice is the one that best describes what I am trying to achieve with any one piece. I have experimented with mixing the traditional materials with those that I find around me on a daily basis as a part of contemporary life in Australia.
