Stuart Davis

Stuart Davis' work was something that really appealed to me when I first saw it. The layers of shapes and colours he uses in his pieces contain a lot of movement and feel as though they are actually figures in the pieces.

Something else that intrigued me was the period of time that Davis worked because it was a lot earlier than any other artist I have looked at, despite his working being very similar to the recent contemporary artists that I have looked at.

Something else that I found interesting was how I could create a similar effect to Davis' work by using screen printing. If I cut out a variety of shapes or stencils, then keep overlaying them on top of one another and then maybe paint over the top of that, this could lead to creating an interesting result.
