Barbara Davis Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of two solo exhibitions for Los Angeles-based artists Todd Williamson and Joe Davidson on Friday, March 25, 2011, from 6:30 -8:30 PM.  Artists will be in attendance.  

Todd Williamson 
Todd Williamson re-elaborates on the monochrome color field with the addition of a score of horizontal lines arranged in sequence from the top downwards with piercing interjections of light.  The interior need for order in the system of thought and pictorial research has made Williamson proceed with a kind of score on the canvas, a kind of plot, a scheme by means of which to read the work.  Like musical scores bring order to the sounds transmitted by an indeterminate chaos of simple noises, turning them into a melody, Williamson gives pure color a visual and emotional order through the horizontal lines of his paintings.

Joe Davidson
Joe Davidson's body of work consists of sculpture and large scale installations made up of cast everyday objects.  Produced in multiples with mundane materials such as scotch tape and plaster, the primarily monochromatic work is driven largely by the inherent quality and symbolism of the material used. The resulting works appear to be simple and streamlined, yet compulsive and, sometimes, obsessive acts are required to create these works.  The juxtaposition of the seemingly simple streamline objects with the complexity of their construction adds a powerful force to the work that is symbolic of the contrast between the emotional life which defines us as humans and the compulsions and minutia that compose our daily lives.
