Davis Rhodes
Installation view, Untitled ‘12, Société, Berlin, 2012
Davis Rhodes describes painting as a dynamic form of agreement, a relation that is always being made and unmade. He variously takes up traditional as well as industrial and graphic display materials, engaging both the grammar and the immediacy of the painted surface, often at the limits of its legibility. What may appear as a threshold of dematerialization – a ‘surface without support’ – opens onto a reciprocal somatic exchange, an immanent mode of encounter and attunement.
Davis Rhodes (b. 1983) lives and works in New York. His solo shows include Team Gallery, New York; Office Baroque, Brussels; Société, Berlin; and Casey Kaplan, New York. Rhodes participated in group shows including Cressman Center for Visual Arts, Louisville; White Flag Projects, St. Louis; Sammlung Haubrok, Berlin; MuZee Oostende, Ostende; and The Kitchen, New York.
