Showing together for the first time, their work explores modern iconography, American comics and 60’s and 70’s pop culture.
Kymberly’s paintings are influenced by Lichtenstein and Warhol, dominated by humour her art has no apparent meaning than to entertain the viewer. Mirroring the style of comic books, her paintings consist of flat areas of bright colours and thick black outlines.
Nick Davis’ bronze figurative sculpture explores the notions of greed, excess, desire, and self indulgence. Nick creates caricatures that refer to modern iconography, movement, emotion and atmosphere are central to his work.
Nick’s bronze furniture explores collage and constructivism, reacting to contemporary themes relating to the collapse of structures, both physical, economic and imagined.
