About this artwork
I synchronised two artistic 'treatments' - my gestural version of a film still, and an abstract area of the canvas. This partly alludes to a film's negative having shifted out of place, and simply as a contrast to the figurative section of the painting. This is one of several paintings using film stills - particularly of the western film genre.

Rob Davies's background is in Fine Art and Authorial Illustration (masters degree). His artistic style, abundant with intuitive ‘gestural expressionism,’ captures subtle, dreamlike narratives, veiled beneath the obvious.
One side of his painting involves large-scale watercolours that explore and question the mundanity of everyday life in the context of the everyday landscape. His works are subversive, eclectic and surprising. They are grounded in reality as a starting point, but certain objects, narratives and compositions pivot towards the fantastic and imagined.
These semi-real landscapes turn the mundane into something surreal. Slightly humorous yet deeply profound, his pieces expose the viewer to his whimsical interpretation of the ‘sublime'.
