Surreal Fantasy By Mike Davis


Surreal Fantasy By Mike Davis

Mike Davis is a modern surrealist painter, who currently lives and works in San Francisco, California. Though possessing a multi-disciplinary set of interests, Davis began painting in 1999, and attributes his inspiration to watching his mother pursue craft projects during his childhood, and immersing himself in art history throughout his career. From helping his mother with projects ranging from woodworking, hand-tooling, and remodeling the family's home, to engaging with ancient art and Netherlandish painting from the Northern Renaissance, Davis is a self-taught painter, who continues to render complex paintings of surrealist medieval life, embedded with symbols of mortality, folly, and hubris, fixated within whimsical compositions. 29 more images after the break...
