About the Item

The pursuit for something new, unique forms and compositions, found in our everyday exterior environments are the subjects that are consistently sought after as the major contributors to my work. The main focus showcases the mundane within the landscape, for example, transformers, utility poles, tops of structures, and wires, and how each interacts with one another in the composition. Taking something so utilitarian for example, like that of a telephone pole with all of it’s components, on average would be, and usually are, looked upon as something that is less than visually desirable, yet when presented in a unique way this provides one with the tools needed to visually tune into not only in their everyday environments but also that of the world — therefore, giving viewers the capabilities to find beauty in the simplest of things. The following quote by Henry Miller speaks volumes when it comes to embodying the personal philosophy as to what drives me to be an image maker; “What the painter sees he is duty-bound to share. Usually he makes us see and feel what ordinarily we ignore or are immune to. His manner of approaching the world tells us, in effect, that nothing is hideous, nothing is stale, flat and unpalatable unless it be our own power of vision.”

59th Street Bridge, original realist New York City landscape
By Michael Davis
Located in Spring Lake, NJ
A veritable life line for New York City that connects the boroughs of Manhattan to Queens, NYC artist Michael Davis painted this original landscape in a realist style to ensure capturing the might and splendor that such an architectural and engineering achievement represents to civilization and certainly to New York. A colorist, Davis seeks simplicity of expression, with clean lines paired with love of his subject matter balanced with aquamarine skies and sapphire blue water. His addition of sky scrapers in the background adds scale and dimension. Davis earned his BFA from Pratt Institute of NYC where he is a life member of the famed Art Students League. Davis' work has shown in the Grand Central Gallery, the National Academy of Design, the Salmagundi Club and the National Arts Club among others. This original oil painting is shown in a champagne silver plein air frame...
