Al Davis
has been creating humorous stoneware sculptures for over forty years and
his work resides in both public and private collections nationally and
internationally. He graduated from Massachusetts College of Art and then
held the position of Artist in Residence at MIT. He was an Exhibit
Specialist at the Smithsonian Institution and taught at the Corcoran
College of Art and Design in Washington, DC. He currently maintains
studios in both Wellfleet and Provincetown Massachusetts.
Although
semi-retired, Al is still creating limited edition and one-of-a-kind
pieces as well as his famous cats, dragons and birds that have delighted
long-time and beginning collectors for years. He believes strongly in
making “household” art that is accessible to anyone. His beautiful
designs are often deceptively simple, requiring unique skills and
techniques to mold and sculpt clay without the use of internal armature.
His timely political commentaries, whimsical animals, fountains, dynamic
abstracts and graceful, almost primitive figures are unique in the art
world. |
