Ian Davenport: Horizons - Bog

Published on the occasion of Ian Davenport's last exhibition at Dallas Contemporary (30 September 2018-17 March 2019), Horizons presents a group of approximately seventeen large-scale works from the last thirty years, from the earlier pieces made with industrial materials of the ?80s, till the more complex multicolored works of the last years. Mapping the ongoing development of the artist's career and demonstrating his interest in the theatrics of painting, Horizons proves how curiosity, inquisitiveness, and fun, have always been a fundamental part of Davenport's practice, and sheds light on the intimate punkiness, immediacy, and dynamic of his paint activity.
