Join me for another evening of art at The Barbican Art Gallery, Level 3, The Barbican Centre.
Celebrating the late artist’s expansive creativity, this debut retrospective showcases Noah Davis as one of the most original and uncanny painters emerging in recent years.
Primarily based in Los Angeles, Noah Davis created a body of figurative paintings that explores a range of Black life.
Motivated by the desire to ‘represent the people around me’, Davis painted figures diving into pools, sleeping, dancing, and looking at art in scenes that can be both realistic and dreamlike, joyful and melancholic. Davis drew from anonymous photography, personal archives, film, art history and his imagination to create a ravishing body of work. Often enigmatic, his paintings reveal a deep feeling for humanity and the emotional textures of the everyday.
In 2012, Davis co-founded The Underground Museum to give free access to world-class art for the people of Arlington Heights, LA. This exhibition presents over 50 of Davis’ works in painting, sculpture, curating and community-building from 2007 to his untimely death in 2015.
You must purchase your own ticket - Pay What You Can from £3 (+ booking fee).
We will meet at the entrance to the exhibition from 6.00pm and offer a pub meet-up for drinks afterwards. No need to let us know you’re coming – just turn up with your ticket to the exhibition and join us in the same way you would a walk.
