The post Joshua Davison Creates Colorful Flower Paintings With a Palette Knife appeared first on Wallpaper Data.
]]>Davison’s paintings are particularly captivating due to their sculptural effect. He starts off by adding slabs of paint, switching between oil and acrylic, onto canvas and then builds layers until an image of a blossoming flower appears. This causes the flowers to “pop off” the canvas.
According to Davison, one of the most important goals he aims to achieve in his creative practice is originality. He developed his techniques and methods without being influenced by conventional thought and strives to continuously explore his creativity.
“I believe the term original is very loosely thrown around these days and that true originality is incredibly rare but something that can be worked towards and earned,” Davison told Colossal in a recent interview. “The prospect of one day achieving truly original work is the single biggest motivator for me as an artist.”
Davison mainly exhibits his works in art galleries in his native country. Luckily, he also frequently shares them on social media so the entire world can enjoy them. Check out more below.

]]>Zapata is a Texas native who creates intriguing textile art installations that feature high columns or various grounded shapes covered in fabric. Her works transform the space, taking the viewer on an exciting journey through the world of fabric one piece at a time.
“I’m always thinking about how to occupy opposites and how to really be both and neither,” Zapata explained her approach to installations in a recent chat with Colossal. “I’m always trying to lean into this in-between space, not only physically but thinking about that in terms of time and accessing past, futurity, existing in the present, always this amorphous sense of time.”
Zapata’s art is strongly influenced by the textile traditions from Peru, the country where her father was born. Textile has played a major part in Peruvian history, and artworks using fabric can be dated back to the Paracas people, who lived in the area around 600 BC. Textile still has an important role in Peruvian culture, being used in ceremonies or as gifts for special occasions.
You will be able to see Zapata’s works in person at some of her upcoming exhibitions in Kansas City’s Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art. If you can’t make it there, check out some of her textile art below.

]]>In Innocent’s paintings, humans are presented as a sum of geometrical shapes and forms. As such, they are often disproportional, with small circles as their head, huge blocks to serve as their body, and long cylinders as limbs.

The artist explains that his fascination with humans comes from his faith. His paintings often carry affirmative titles with attached messages of spirituality.
“I am able to appreciate the process of creation, of producing something tangible and relevant out of nothing,” says Innocent about his works.
