John Davis/Stocktrek Images Art

John Davis uses text in his art. He does this purposefully to give his images a historical, social and political context and associate them with specific places and structures. He’s represented by Stocktrek Images, an art agency which focuses on specialty imagery and brings together highly qualified photographers from around the world. His art shows urban development through a perspective that has several layers; that captures moments in the stories of a dynamic and expanding urban structure. His photographs are simple and are made intentionally in an un-astounding and often understated way. This, he says is to allow the viewers to draw their own conclusions without being influenced in any way. He believes that art is a form of communication and it doesn’t require the artist to explain what the art is all about, but rather to let the piece of art speak for itself. Davis doesn’t attempt to simplify the post-industrial’s complex evolution and post-imperialist society; instead, he explores the relationship of humans to the multi-faceted layers of the urbanized landscape. He documents an economy that is now separated from geography and the social consequences of this that are clearly evident. Stocktrek Images has made his work to be known all over the world, and today his art has found its way into many prestigious buildings and spaces. Framed John Davis art are a common sight in museums and galleries around the globe. In his art, images of sky, water and land can become metaphors and reflect the spiritual and emotional human states. An essential characteristic of his approach to landscape is the sense of power; his art can evoke and symbolize.
