海德美术馆 is excited to begin our spring 2018 semester with collage artistLenDavis,a Philadelphia native currently residing and working in LA. Using a particular formulation of mixed mediaincludingboth finely detailed drawings and collaged elements,Davis’ work explores the fundamentals of human psychology by employing imagery from hisdailylife.His methodology includes using illustrative portraiture of those around him, references to his transient observations, and even material remnants that he finds during his dailycommute. Consequently,Davis seeks to establish a metaphorical mirrorthatviewers can look into to find images and objects that resonatewith their own personal experiences. The artist wants his viewers to reflect on the factthat we all coexist within熟悉的关系网我们有共同的能力来超越日常的冲动和冲突。
