Varnish Fine Art, in San Francisco, is now showing the work of Mike Davis. Davis, also known as a tattoo artist, is a modern surrealist. His work is, he says, partially inspired by watching his mom’s craft projects when he was a kid. But he is also inspired by ancient art and the art of the Netherlands (from the Renaissance period).
His work has humanity and humor and shows a wide knowledge of art—and Davis is also self-taught. Shows are coming. Keep an eye open.
If you read any underground or outsider art publications you have likely seen Davis’ work. He has appeared in Juxtapoz, Art Ltd., Pop Surrealism: The Rise of Underground Art, Tatt Book: Visionaries of Tattoo and a number of online art publications. His work has been featured in exhibitions in San Francisco, Rome, Montreal, Los Angeles and New York.
