“Slices of Life”: Collage and Assemblage by Len Davis<\/p>\n

These large & medium-scale works explore the everyday life struggles, such as love, sacrifice, jealousy, ones potential, environment etc… we face and how we endure them.<\/p>\n

Len Davis says about his practice:
\nI have eclectic taste. That\u2019s why I\u2019m so fascinated by the use of mixed media. I like mixed media because of the outcome of combining several elements, creating various textures and colour to evoke a thought and mood in the stories I tell. It\u2019s like a pizza with everything on it. Once you take that first bite, you\u2019re inundated with flavor. And that\u2019s what I strive for in my work.<\/p>\n

I work in assemblage, collage, drawing and works on paper. I use lots of found objects, drawings, print outs, text usage, graphite, color pencil, gouache, acrylic, pastel, etc. My pieces deal with life itself, i.e., the people we are, what we create, our capabilities and the issues with which we deal. My premise is to lure the viewer in. Once they\u2019re in, they will be placed in a position to reflect on and question their ethics, be it disquieting or placid.<\/p>\n
