Artist Biography:
Born in Zimbabwe, Gerald has also lived and worked in South Africa, United Kingdom, and Trinidad & Tobago. Initially trained in textile design, Gerald's early work experience was in commercial art. Stained glass fabrication was added to his artistic experience in 2007, when he joined the team at Rudy Art Glass Studio in York, Pennsylvania where he now resides. In 2009 he turned his creative energy to mosaics and established Gerald Davidson Studio where he creates personal work and commissions for private clients. Gerald's mosaics are a decidedly contemporary interpretation of an ancient art. Using art glass as his primary medium, he thrives on experimenting with and exploring new styles, techniques, and use of materials. The themes, designs, and colors of his creations are a reflection of his diverse interests, travels, cross cultural experiences and background in commercial art. Some of the highlights of his career have been, as a founding member and teacher/trainer of a youth arts program in his native Zimbabwe; a 2-year long project designing and fabricating stained-glass windows for a church that had been damaged by fire; and collaboration with a local water company to design, fabricate, and install a mosaic mural commemorating their 200th anniversary.

- "Ghost (Big Wings), " Mixed Media Mosaic, 2023Located in Chicago, ILIntricate, ethereal and highly textured, the abstract compositions of Japanese mosaic artist Toyoharu Kii reflect a sophisticated approach to the technical art of mosaic making. Classically trained in Florence, Italy, Kii creates his modern mosaics using traditional techniques and materials, including hand-cut Italian marble and Venetian smalti glass. Eschewing the figural in favor of the abstract, his mosaics rely on contrasts of pattern and form to convey complex themes and achieve visual harmony. Toyoharu Kii’s latest body of work “Geophytes” continues themes of rebirth and renewal. A reference to plants that regrow from hidden elements beneath the earth’s surface, the series celebrates the resilience of the natural world. Each mosaic is imagined as a landscape that documents a history of environmental damage due to human activity, and the subsequent return of nature as a restorative force. Through the juxtaposition of patterns and the interplay of order and disorder, Kii creates man-made “images of destruction” and finds hope in the future by “reconstructing nature.” In this mosaic entitled "Ghost (Big Wings)," Kii takes a more representational approach to his storytelling, creating figurative drawings out of thin lines of tesserae. The mosaic belongs to his “Ghost” triptych, wherein Kii uses “wings” to represent the presence of a heavenly being, the ghosts of past spirits or the presence of an angel or guardian. In “Ghost (Big Wings),” Kii mourns the extinction of many creatures due to environmental change and imagines their lonely spirits wandering the earth. Enveloping their silhouettes is “a bird with big wings,” writes Kii, depicted here within a dense mosaic of abstract patterns, a symbol for nature’s healing power. “The bird consoles...Category
