Pressemeddelelse:
Despite the sea being a tempestuous and unpredictable force, offshore working-class fishermen of New England, boldly set sail in Ryan Davis’ new series of oil paintings to take on the stormy North Atlantic waters in one of the world’s richest fishing grounds.
The exhibition “Holy Mackerel!”, which is named after Ryan Davis’ father’s boat, features works that represent Davis’ first-hand experiences and passion for the sea. Not only do they aptly capture the essence of the tides moving in and out, the light bouncing off the waves and the drastic weather changes of the ocean but they also serve as a powerful representation of the livelihood the sea provides, the day-to-day struggle of the fishing community and the massive feat of getting seafood onto a plate. Davis’ artwork observes humanity’s interaction with the ocean and its role as a vital food source, as well as being a significant body of strength, power, beauty and force – indicating a relationship to be sustained and preserved. Encapsulating the jagged, testing and shifting environment of the sea through specially shaped canvases and frames, Davis instills his artwork with a palpable essence of his memories and life experiences, capturing moments that resonate with the senses and reflect his deep affection for his home and community.
