More about Len Davis
Len Davis is a mixed media artist who combines elements such as found-objects, drawings, print outs, text, graphite, color pencil, gouache, acrylic and pastel to create various textures and colors. Davis’s pieces deal with life itself, the people we are, what we create, our capabilities and the issues we deal with. His premise is to lure the viewer in and place them in a position to reflect on and question their ethics.
