Through the narrative of his paintings, American artist Noah Davis invites encounters with daily beauty and uncomfortable truths. The confidence of his testament is equalled by soft brush strokes and vulnerability of his subjects. He creates a human scale imperfect space with an engaging exploration of identity and hierarchy.
