Jack Davidson's Sunny Cool Abstraction at James Siena's Sometimes Gallery
Barcelona-based artist Jack Davidson is exhibiting at Sometimes (works of art), an ad hoc project space run by James Siena in his studio building in downtown Manhattan. Davidson, a Scotsman, belongs to a global cadre of artists who run informal, barely-commercial gallery spaces in their residences. His work features sunny cool abstraction that combines biomorphism with heraldic precisionism, exemplified by his 2013 canvas "We're up all night to get lucky." The exhibition allows Davidson to live with and study the works of an artist he wants to promote, while also benefiting from Siena's reciprocal practice.
