NOAH DAVIS

This striking exhibition catalog celebrates the late artist whose deeply emotional works intermingled realism with abstraction to address complex themes of identity, race, and community. American artist Noah Davis (19832015) believed painting does something to your soul that nothing else can. It is visceral and immediate. Drawing on art history, personal archives, anonymous photography found in Los Angeles flea markets, and his own imagination, he compiled a ravishing body of figurative paintings that explore a range of Black life.
