Gerald Davis lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. A graduate of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, IL, his paintings share a single preoccupation with light. His works are in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY, Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, CA and Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, San Diego, CA.

Brushwork is, for Davis, where a painting becomes personal, the irreducible fingerprint of how a particular hand moves. The seascapes, painted at Huntington Beach, the coast of Spain, and a perfect dawn wave at Jalama State Beach, carry the same mark. Together, the portraits and seascapes form a continuous gaze: one turned inward, one turned toward the horizon. Both look at the same light.
