...ABOUT ARTIST....
KENN DAVIS has devoted his 50 year painting career to the interpretation of life in his own time. Associated with the North Beach Scene in the 1950s, he has continued to work with his chosen SURREALISTIC concepts, frequently in a satirical vein. In exhibitions throughout his home state of California, as well as in New York, Chicago, Boston, Houston, Denver and in Museums shows in San Francisco and Dallas, Davis has demonstrated his fascination with imagination. His work is often disconcerting and deliberately so. " There is enough art that lulls us into feeling right with the world, but to be stimulated by the artist brings us to another level of appreciation." With one eye on the European Surrealists Davis admires, he casts the other directly upon the AMERICAN SCENE -- and on the obsessions, passions and foibles peculiar to our time and place. FULL BIOGRAPHY AVAILABLE ON REQUEST.
