ArtLink A. E. England Gallery

Artlink A. E. England Gallery: June 3rd – June 30th

Blending science, psychology and art, Psyentifica: The Amusing Abstractions of Lee Davis brings approachable conceptual art to the viewer. With bold imagery and unique combinations, such as a crab with chainsaws, Davis attempts to captivate one’s attention in order to draw people in to create their own ideas about the peculiar images.

Lee Davis draws inspiration from scientific readings and the new developments in the subject. The majority of Davis’s artwork reflects an idea or theory of the scientific world. For example, ‘Crab On Acid’ is a depiction of the scientific discovery that blue crabs actually thicken their shells when exposed to more acidic water environments, unlike the other sea creatures that become weaker. Upon first glance of ‘Crab On Acid,’ this idea might not be the first one to jump to mind, but rather invites the viewer to create their own interpretations of the strong iconography.

Curator Amanda Washburn expands, “Although the scientific meaning behind Davis’s bold and vibrant work might not always be clear, the art pieces allow the viewer to develop his/her own thoughts about each image. It is with his background in graphic art that Davis is able to create eye-catching pieces that draw the viewer to see not only Davis’s scientific view but welcomes the viewer to create his/her own opinions as well.”

Please join us at Artlink A. E. England Gallery for the solo exhibition of Lee Davis’s work as his artwork excites one’s senses and imagination.

Opening Reception: June 3rd, 6 – 10 PM
Closing Reception: June 17th, 6 – 9 PM
