John Davis
In August, the NGV will hold an exhibition celebrating the work of influential Australian artist, John Davis. This exhibition will chart Davis’ development as an artist, with particular focus on his interest in found and fragile organic materials, and the powerful evocation of the landscape that is at the core of his work.
Davis initially worked in wood and later in fibreglass and aluminium, becoming known for his distinctive formalist style. By 1973, Davis had become increasingly interested in conceptual, process-based and land art practices, and his mature works reflect his sensitivity to elemental forces, the organic world, and his profound connection to the ecological fragility and beauty of landscape.
