La Loma Projects is proud to present NEW WORKS by Gerald Davis. In this show, the Los Angeles-based artist creates richly colored, obsessively pointillist pictures. Davis's canvases are a riot of wild mark-making and electric color that conjure classical motifs: a face, a bather, a figure in repose. Improvising with a technique almost like monoprint, he presses wet paintings together, yielding unexpected combinations and impasto textures. Desire, euphoria, memory, and painting itself are Davis's subjects. In "Ecstatic Figure," Davis breaks up a figure under the rush of a waterfall, while the bather gazes upwards in a pose recalling the Ecstasy of St. Teresa. Gerald Davis's NEW WORKS will be open from October 13 until December 8.
