Item Description
Magnolia V Limited Edition Print signed by artist Brian Davis, dated ‘81. #86/250 Dimensions 34.25" W x 28" H
BRIAN DAVIS (1946- ) Born in California, Brian Davis was raised by musician parents to appreciate all things artistic. Painting became a passion with magnificent flowers and landscapes as his favorite subjects. Luckily for collectors, he portrays them as romantic, compelling images ripe with sharpness, color, movement, edge and light. Before he begins his masterpieces, Brian spends extensive time researching and scouting for a flower or scene that catches his eye. He carries a camera everywhere so he can shoot a subject at any moment. Since flowers wilt so quickly, and it can take weeks for him to complete a painting, Brian has found a way to create a floral image from a series of different shots for each flower. He may not do an exact botanical rendering and he may change colors and leaves at will. But the essence of the flower is always paramount. Brian believes that the depth in his art is derived from paying attention to the subtle shifts in value - relative to darks and lights. He is often asked if there is a light source behind his paintings. "The light is the real subject of my work. The flower is the stage, the light is the dancer." Among his many achievements, he is most proud of his commissioned work for The Huntington Library Art Collections and Botanical Gardens. His works can also be found in the permanent collections of The Huntington Library, The Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the New York Botanical Garden
