New Work

Through her various inspirations, Anna Davis creates a body of work connected through a common perspective: “women in their private life, naked and venerable. Women in the society, strong and brave.” Davis’ new works feature her latest paintings that demonstrate her wild ability to confront the power of a woman’s being while embracing what is commonly thought to make her weaker: her nude and exposed body. “I use the naked body in my art to express a raw nature of an emotion. I don’t see anything wrong with a naked body, to the contrary, I see beauty and truth.” These raw images offer insight into the female mind and experience both personal and public, and address them in a very apparent and unavoidable way. Davis’ work is provocative with a purpose, and meaningful with an edge.
