We have long drawn our own myriad of alternate conclusions about what a typical Craig Davison limited edition means to us both individually and collectively as well as privately and commercially, yet if any lingering doubt as to what the best-selling contemporary figurative art practitioner is attempting to convey remains, then the following sentence (directly from the horse’s mouth so to speak) should lay them to bed. Davison; “I now can’t imagine doing anything else but painting. Ideas come from everything and anything. Everywhere I look images and ideas are lining up to be used. I like my paintings to have a slightly naive, grubby look with lots of energy – which, when I think about it, sums up my childhood!” And therein lies the highly illustrative rub, and which bears ultimate significance to any Davison piece, that very graphic nod and wink to our childhoods. ‘Reach for the Sky’ is therefore no different to any other giclee on canvas study which has gone before, and instantly recreates a feeling of nostalgia deep within for a time and a place now long gone. But all is not entirely lost, providing you move fast and register your interest in this brand new Autumn 2016 iteration by the ever-popular fine artist whose reputation keeps soaring.
