Alonzo Davis, a California native currently working in Maryland, brings his unique, innovative technique to the series “Passageways.” Davis melds paint, bamboo, copper, leather, and indigenous textiles into spectacular mixed media works. He remarks of Passageways that he looks “at these artworks as paintings in the round.” Each work is a singular creation with a spirit and personality of its own. Characteristic of Davis’s work, the series takes inspiration from a rich cultural spectrum: the Southwestern United States, Brazil, Haiti, West Africa, and the Pacific Rim. Alonzo Davis has exhibited widely in the United States and in Costa Rica, Finland, and Sweden. His works are held by collectors throughout the world, and his site specific works and murals, including the Olympic Mural Series for the 1984 Los Angeles Olympics, grace cities throughout the United States.
