Len Davis works in assemblage, collage, drawing, and works on paper which revolve around themes of everyday life issues we encounter. With the human figure ever present, Len’s concepts vary from emotional expressions, responses or outcomes, identity, perception, coping within the human condition, and the like. His eclectic style is a combination of several elements with heavy emphasis on illustration, mixed media, and vibrant colors with the human figure in an action-type, comic book, expressive pose and/or movie poster-like look and feel. Len describes his work as being “like a pizza with everything on it. Once you take that first bite, you’re inundated with flavor.”
In his youth, Len Davis watched cartoons and read comic books. Len says, “All I knew back then was that I like to draw and create stories.” And that’s what he did, for years. In high school, he took every free art course and weekend drawing class the school offered. Upon seeing the colorful work of Marc Chagall in 1985 at the Philadelphia Museum of Art, Davis knew he wanted to be an artist.
