The visual language of Christopher's work is influenced by early 20th Century Art & Illustration, Medieval European Art, Indian and Persian Miniatures, and in general, the Decorative Arts of the Ancient World including Greek Vase Painting, Etruscan Tomb Painting, and Egyptian Hieroglyphics. The imagery found in Davison's art is derived from an intuitive, process-based approach, where specific signs and symbols slowly emerge out of an initial burst of chaotic mark-making. Trusting the mystery of the creative act itself overlaps with his interest in mysticism and mystical states of consciousness, experiencing that it is through the pure act of creation that we "yoke" ourselves to a higher consciousness and experience something beyond ourselves.
Christopher Davison is an American artist who resides in San Francisco. He has shown his work at various locations in the United States and Europe including Nicelle Beauchene Gallery in NYC, Mark Moore Gallery in LA, and the Rose Art Museum in Waltham, Massachusetts.
