Tim Davis: Suburban April 21, 2007

New York photographer Tim Davis is concerned with light and his desire to "picture" light in its various manifestations. He then prints them almost actual size so that they become a representation of the original work. However, it is the reflection of light off the surface of the paintings that pinpoints the difference between the actual painting and photograph. The glare that Davis captures on the paintings' surfaces provides the paintings with an unexpected luminescence that adds to and sometimes changes the energy of the piece by obscuring one's view of the painting.
