Ashley Davies - Without Words

"Beyond the perfect synthesis of abstraction and figuration, beneath the layers of technical virtuosity, gentle works whisper and quietly beckon to reveal a timeless natural world, a gesamtkunstwerk of senses, colours, motion and sound.

Rich in sacred mysticism, symbolism, ageless wisdom, sadness, humour and joy, these works are pure honest communications from the soul to the heart to the brush to the canvas to the heart to the sould to the world.

And gritty urban pigeons are the new doves!

Ashley Davies: Without Words

A new body of work with urban imagery as the starting point. The series Afterleaf, Holy Ghosts and Saplings covey a sense of fragile beauty and decay, exploring the emotive language. The animated Lido, Lock, Lido continues the collaboration with the Galliard Ensemble.
