Mick Davis

Originally from Dublin, Mick Davis now resides on the Dingle peninsula. ​Known previously for his sculptural work, Mick has turned his attention to the delicate interplay of line and wash. His recent output is split between two distinct yet harmonious paths: Figurative drawings that echo his sculptor’s understanding of anatomy, and vibrant watercolor landscapes that celebrate the openness of the horizon. By moving from sculpture to painting & drawing, Davis explores the tension between the solid human form and the vast, changing environments we inhabit. His landscape paintings are strongly influenced by the transient glow of West Kerry's wid terrain.

Mick is currently artist-in-residence at An Díseart, Centre of Irish Spirituality and Culture; (Ionad Spioradáltachta agus Cultúir Ghaelaigh). This residency gives him the opportunity to concentrate on his art practice within a deeply inspiring and creative environment. In addition to his studio work, Mick is using his time there to improve his proficiency in the Irish language.
