Christopher Davies — The Restoration

About

The Restoration features new paintings, sculptures and mirror works sourced from influences as diverse as gothic gargoyles, the collages of Max Ernst and Jim Henson's Muppets. Davies combines sculpture and painting in order, in his words, to 'lure the unconscious into view' , to investigate the workings of illusion and to bring the past into the present. The collision and reworkings of diverse sources creates 'disturbing restorations', a potential 'better' state.
