Marcus Davies (British, b. 1965), Spiral Staircase, Gelatin Silver Print - Marcus Davies (British, b. 1965), Spiral Staircase, Gelatin Silver Print. Bio from verso: ”Davies' distinctive images are an oblique interpretation of the figure as part of both cityscape and landscape in the world around him. He uses both London and his hometown in Devon for much of his work, but for the last decade Davies has captured scenes?from his own characteristic viewpoint throughout Europe... However in all these works, Davies' concerns remain consistent. Pattern is explored through highly differentiated areas of darkness and light, whilst the use of shadow evokes notions of presence and absence, of positive and negative actions. From the bell-tower of Sienna, to the Tate Modern in London, his highly abstract and graphic images reveal figures caught in a play of light and shadow. Reminiscent of Giacometti, his footballers, priests and matadors become elements in a wider composition, where superfluous details are stripped to reveal a timeless image. Davies' work is held in many private and corporate collections including Citibank and Goldman Sachs.” As framed approximately 23.125W x 19.125H x 1.5D in. Sight approximately 14.125W x 9.5H in.
