Press Release :: May 24, 2004
Day Gallery proudly hosts the first exhibition of paintings by Graham Davis in Ottawa for over a decade, on Friday June 11, 2004.
A special reception will be held during the hours of 6:00 and 8:00 pm to commemorate the opening.
Graham Davis, considered a stylistically representational painter, was born in Kent and educated at Maidstone and Chelsea Schools of Art. During the thirty years since he settled in Jamaica, he has exhibited widely in the Caribbean, North America and Europe. His most recent success was at the highly acclaimed Rebecca Hossack Gallery in London.
Davis has been experimenting recently with the culture of the ancient, and nature. Works depicting gardens in Spain, where he now spends six months in each year, and ruins in Jamaica are examples of this new approach. He lives, gardens and paints in his own ancient structure - a haunted eighteenth century plantation house. Recently, this delightfully warm home was featured in several issues of the British publication “Period House”.
Appointments may be arranged for private viewing between Saturday June 12 and Tuesday June 15. For more information, please telephone 613.749.7513
