Women against the powers that be.
Women have always struggled to get their voice heard in a situation where men were in the majority in decision making. In the case of the latest struggle for justice and equality the test began with the Jimmy Savile case. This clearly highlighted the need for more to be done to legitimise the truth of accusations of sexual…
PAUL KLEE
I visited the Tate Modern to see the Paul Klee exhibition at the this year. He was my significant and primary introduction to abstract art in the 1960s and has influenced my work ever since. For me he bridges the gap between free expressionism in abstraction and a considered and scientific analysis of composition. He…
THE CAVERN. 2011. Mixed Media on Canvas.
This piece used a box which came with a cup I bought from the Cavern Club in Liverpool in 2011. The work evokes the typical northern skyline, the dark satanic mills of Lancashire, indelibly etched on my childhood memories; a legacy of the industrial north of England with its mills, shipyards and factories which have…
INESCAPABLE. Portrait Series. Mixed Media on Canvas.
Inescapable. Life is inescapable, we live, we die, we love, we try to find the ways we can fulfil our promise as the days pass by. To find the person that we are, to reach that bright illusive star, to make the most of what we have before this mortal toil has passed. We make…

He now works for Sat Bains in Nottingham, to be featured on tonight’s masterchef the professionals on BBC 1. Though his skills in cooking have been due in a large…
SOME WANT LESS. Acrylic on Canvas, 20 x 20 x 3.5 cm. 2010.
SOME WANT LESS. In this world we strive, I guess, and some want more and some want less, and some want what they think they’ve earned and some want more than just returns, and some want all they think is theirs and some want more than they can hope, and some want nothing but a…

FACEBOOK FRIENDS. Portrait Series 2011. Mixed Media Collage on Card. 2011.
FACEBOOK FRIENDS. We have so many face book friends, tell of their daily trials to live a normal life, and make amends for all the things they should have done before real life got in the way. They pour out all the problems that they face every day, from what to eat for breakfast to…
Ampuero. Labels Series 62. FGD. 2011
href=”https://fgdavisblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/ampuero-mixed-media-on-canvas-2010-labels-series-62.jpg”> THE SHADOW OF HISTORY. The spirit of a nation is indisputably intertwined with its images. Picasso recognised the power of the image of a Bull as a meaningful symbol of a nation at war, his Guernica empowered and inspired a nation to fight against oppression and injustice. I saw the painting in The Reina…
