About the Item
Brad Davis’s "Still Life with Pet Coke", a 2025 oil painting on wood panel, is a hauntingly atmospheric composition that blurs the line between classical still life and contemporary realism. At first glance, the viewer is drawn to a carefully painted bird skeleton perched atop a rugged mound of stones. These tactile foreground elements emerge from the shadows with weight and texture, grounded by Davis’s command of oil technique. Behind them, however, looms an unexpected scene—an eerie, dimly lit gas station, its glowing signage faintly visible across a plane of reflective black. The juxtaposition of natural decay and industrial stillness evokes a somber meditation on mortality, energy, and landscape.
Rendered in oil on panel, the work measures 20 x 18 inches unframed and 21 x 19 inches framed. The surface is dark and glossy, contributing to the reflective quality that enhances the surreal presence of both the skeletal subject and the ghostlike figure barely visible in the composition. This piece exemplifies Davis’s signature ability to merge observational precision with layered narrative undertones, inviting prolonged and contemplative viewing.
The painting is unflinchingly original, both in subject and execution. Its meticulous brushwork, subdued palette, and play of light and shadow mark it as a significant work within Davis’s 2025 body of work. This piece is ready to hang and will resonate with collectors drawn to symbolic still life, environmental commentary, and moody contemporary realism.
