Julyan Davis

Biography

Julyan Davis, English-born plein air and studio painter, established himself as a realist painter and recently began exploring aspects of modernism in his work. His new landscapes combine traditional techniques with new emphasis on abstract qualities of painting. Davis notes that he wants the viewer to not see the painting all at once but, instead, to try to replicate something of the way we see: one detail visible before another, the eye moving around the canvas enough that the painting will always seem new.

Davis is influenced by a broad range of artists, but particularly by Cezanne, Bonnard and such painters of the Romantic school as Caspar David Friedrichs. He studied painting and printmaking at Byam Shaw School of Art, London. His work is exhibited in the Highgate Cemetary Museum (London), Banker’s Club (Ohio), Skyline Club (Indiana), Goodrich Corporation (North Carolina), Sloss Furnaces National Historic Monument (Alabama) and in galleries from Maine to Florida. June through August ’06 his work was exhibited at the Blue Spiral 1 Gallery in Asheville.
