Artist Statement

Arvin Davis Jr. uses bright colors, strong brush strokes, detailed line work, and splatters, which ever technique is required to obtain work with a strong compositional and chromatic rigor ; it’s a contained chaos. he is a multifaceted illustrator and fine artist. He'll collaborate with his kids, other artist or work alone. Suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder, art allows him to process the emotions, traumas and self-created pressures, thus becoming a real therapeutic path aimed at understanding himself and his feelings. Self-taught in mixed media: watercolors, inks, graphite, fluid acrylics, and standard acrylics.
