Arts Local artist displays new works at bookstore
Posted By Anita Overcash on Fri, Apr 19, 2013 at 10:51 AM
The Q.C.-based artist Gary Davis Sr. spotlighted African-American entertainers and idols - some of which included Bob Marley, Ray Charles and President Obama - in his previous collection titled First Impressions. A self-taught artist who has been painting with acrylics for years, Davis primarily paints portraits. But he doesn't limit himself only to recognizable, notable figures. In his latest collection, Life & Times, showcasing at The Last Word, he's added works that portray specific events.
One painting, "The Women of Sudan," was inspired after he read a news story about women's rights in Africa. In the painting, a group of women are praying together at a vigil for justice. Meet Davis during the opening reception on April 20, from 6 p.m.-9 p.m. Free admission. The Last Word, 230 E. W.T. Harris Blvd., Suite B11. 704-966-9673. www.thelastwordcharlotte.com.
