Aaron Davis

Aaron Davis is a contemporary artist whose work explores the intersection of memory, identity, and environment through a diverse range of media, including painting, sculpture, and installation. Raised in the Midwest and now based in Brooklyn, New York, Davis draws inspiration from both rural and urban landscapes, infusing his pieces with a sense of fleeting nostalgia and quiet resilience. He holds a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and an MFA from Yale University, where he honed a signature visual language that merges gestural abstraction with subtle figurative elements.

Davis’s work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, with recent solo shows in New York, Chicago, and Berlin, and has been featured in publications such as Artforum and The Brooklyn Rail. Committed to community engagement, he regularly collaborates with local arts organizations and teaches workshops for emerging artists. Through his evocative and layered compositions, Aaron Davis invites viewers to reflect on the complexities of place, memory, and the passage of time.
