Ian Davenport (b. 1966, Kent, England) is well known for his abstract paintings, which explore process and materiality. In recent years his work has consisted of carefully poured lines of acrylic paint down a surface, which puddle and pool at the bottom. Over the past ten years he has turned his attention to screenprinting and etching, building up an impressive body of graphic work.
Our second collaboration with Davenport, the ‘Pathway’ group of prints, built on the process we established during our work on the 2022 ‘Mirrored Enamel’ series. Both series were presented at his solo exhibition at Cristea Roberts Gallery, Ian Davenport: Pathway.
Installations
Our productions of Ian Davenport’s screenprints have been exhibited in London at the artist’s solo show ‘Pathway’ at Cristea Roberts Gallery and internationally at The Armory Show in New York and Art Basel Miami.
