Jack Davison depicts the human figure, architecture, animals, objects, landscapes and townscapes; yet his subject is always photography itself. Uncovering the surreal and sensual within everyday life, Davison uses chiaroscuro, framing and exposure as instruments of abstraction, drawing on the history and language of photography. At times, playful costume, animation and sculptural interventions extend beyond the photographic frame, allowing Davison to construct his own visual worlds in which bodies, objects and environments are transformed through illusion, theatre and play. His practice has also been situated within a Surrealist lineage, with parallels drawn to the work of Max Ernst and Man Ray.
