Book Description:

Do You See What I Feel? Graham Davis Paintings by Graham Davis, published by Outer Banks Press in 2010. This Book is a Hardcover (No Dust Jacket as Issued) measuring 10.25" x 11.625" with 94 pages. Graham Davis was born in Kent in 1944 and educated at Maidstone College of Art under the tutelage of several eminent painters and sculptors, where he learned etching with David Hockney. He then went on to Chelsea School of Art in London, where the British cultural renaissance of the 1960s was in full swing, and was to impact significantly on his early work. In 1970 he left the United Kingdom for Jamaica, where he was under contract to teach art for a year. The initial period was extended several times, until he eventually decided to settle on the Caribbean island, which he had grown to feel passionately about, and to paint full-time. He has lived in Jamaica since 1970. It was during the 1980s that he began to develop what was to become his signature style, distinguished by its painstaking use of layers of evolving color and texture. As he finessed his style, he began to travel more, within and outside Jamaica, continually searching for different kinds of inspiration. Old things, be they country churches, rusting doors or crumbling bridges, hold a particular allure for the artist. As his work came to be recognized, he began to exhibit widely and successfully, in the Americas and Europe. In recent years Graham has been experimenting with richer color and greater detail. Davis has exhibited widely in Jamaica and abroad, is represented in the permanent collection of the National Gallery of Jamaica, and is considered one of the most important artists in the Caribbean region.
