Mike Davis & Henry Lewis: Contemporary Surrealists, opens March 2 and runs until April 13, 2013 at Varnish Fine Art (16 Jessie St, #C120, San Francisco). There will be an opening reception with the artists from 6 to 9 p.m.
Both artists who work in oil but have distinct styles. Each produces work that is complex and uses symbolic language all their own. Both produce highly personal works.
Davis, a self-taught artist, is inspired by art ranging from the Northern Renaissance to 60s and 70s album art. He has also worked as a tattoo artist.
Lewis has always been inspired by music. His subjects are often shown in armor with ancient weapons. Lewis empowers his subjects via this iconography as they protect their fragile forms with cold steel.
