Description:
This painting by Kenneth Davies illustrates a boat docked upon a grassy dune of sand. The work is executed from a low perspective, looking up towards the boat and sky. The rear of the boat rests on its udder while the front is supported by poppets on its port and starboard sides. The sky is the same earthy-blond color as the sand. On the right-hand side, in the distance, you can see the mast and top of another ship.
Kenneth Davies (December 20, 1925 - December 24, 2017) was an American painter based in Madison, Connecticut, known for his trompe-l'œil work.
Ken Davies was born in New Bedford, Massachusetts. He attended Yale University, where he painted his first important oil painting, "Lighthouses in the Alps". The work captured the attention of New York City cultural figure Lincoln Kirstein, who helped Davies attain showings of his early works in 1950 at the Hewitt Gallery. He also received a Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation fellowship that year. His first solo show was at the Hewitt Gallery in 1951, and every painting sold.
He taught at the Paier School of Art in Hamden, Connecticut. During his forty years there, he taught such notable artists as Joseph Reboli; and eventually became the dean. In 1962, he decided to refocus on his Still life painting, and enjoyed further success, with gallery representation from Hirschl
Adler Galleries. His first solo show there was in 1978.
Davies' labor-intensive technique involves sable brushes, resulting in paintings that appear almost like photographs, but with trompe-l'œil and Surrealist effects.
