The Story
Jack Davisâs Serene Morning (59" x 59") is an exquisite meditation on light, space, and tranquillity. A vast expanse of sea stretches toward the horizon, where the shimmering blues of the water meet the soft, clouded sky in an almost imperceptible gradient. The painting captures the gentle interplay of light across the surface of the water, evoking a sense of boundless calm and endless possibility. The delicate variations in blue, from the crystalline transparency of the foreground to the deep, rich hues of the distant ocean, create an immersive and deeply soothing experience.
Rather than painting from photographs, Davis paints the dramatic skies and seas which surround his home in St. Just directly from his experience in the landscape. âWhen youâre out thereâ, he explains, âyou donât have time to overcomplicate things; itâs all about letting the subconscious come throughâ. The pulse and flux of the ever-changing weather and the luminosity of operatic light provide him with constant inspiration.
In 2016, Davis became a tutor at the Newlyn School of Art, joining an impressive roster of practising artists in Cornwall. In addition to being housed in both private and corporate collections, his work has been exhibited at the Members Autumn and Spring Exhibitions of the St. Ives Society of Artists and in galleries worldwide. He has won the Threadneedle Prize: Figurative Art Today and has been published in Future Now: 100 Contemporary Artists from the Aesthetica Art Prize.
Davisâs ability to capture atmosphere and mood through the simplest compositions is what sets him apart. His work invites contemplation, offering a moment of quiet reflection amidst the turbulence of the modern world.
