Anders Davidsen

Anders Davidsen creates paintings dealing with seascapes which suggest the repetitive tide, the time passing , and evoke memories of his earlier private experiences. His paintings capture the moments where atmosphere and light change most rapidly, presenting the sun or moon rising from or setting in the sea in a poetic way. Davidsen works on linen, he applies paint directly from the tube, and then pushes the pigments into the tinted chalk gesso, to the final scrubbing off extra paint. He relies on his imagination and the practicing process is meditative. Davidsen repeatedly paints the similar seascapes to trace the sun movement, like Peter Dreher, who painted thousands of the same empty glass, tracing the changing reflections as the sunlight fades.
