My most popular painting on Saatchi Art. Curious about the story behind it? Why the solid colour tiles? Why doesn’t the 👢 stay within the tile frame?
Comment below, I’d ❤️ too share more!

I wasn’t familiar with Noah Davis’s work before this exhibition. I went to the Barbican because I wanted to see something new. What an extraordinary body of work, I really loved it!

Noah Davis review – thrilling strangeness from a painter brimming with ideas and adventure

From Egyptian mythology to the bear pit of reality TV, this show captures a mere eight years of dazzling work from the restless American who lit up LA before dying at the age of 32

I have started to focus on the faces of the figures in my recent work. Colour remains a strong component ❤️💛💙
