Archer Davies: Altogether Elsewhere

Overview

Brisbane-based painter Archer Davies is bringing his well-travelled collection to West End to exhibit his latest works. Archer recently completed a residency in Philadelphia, which inspired many works, which will also be available for viewing.

The impressionistic works of Davies are celebrated the world over, and at the young age of 24 his works are even more remarkable. He incorporates themes of modernity throughout his pieces, from familiar celebrity iconography, to the fears and anxieties that may burden younger generations as a result of differing social values. One thing is for certain: his paintings are larger than life. They capture the essence of daily scenes while also embellishing and rearranging, the result is an image that is both new and familiar.

The exhibition will run from the November 20-30; come and celebrate the exhibition on its opening night on Friday November 22. Proceedings will commence from 6pm.
