“In the Light”
Joe and Tom Davey are a son and father exhibiting together for the very first time.
They are both self-taught, sharing a lifelong passion for painting and drawing.This leads them to experiment with all kinds of media, playing with different mark-making to find fresh means of expression. Working independently from each other, there are still common themes of light, mood and atmosphere that will show through in a shared exhibition space.
Joe is an artist/illustrator perhaps best known locally for his charcoal drawings and monochrome oil paintings.
Tom is an Ipswich-based oil painter who is returning to exhibiting after several years, though he has never stopped painting. His artistic practice has ranged from portraiture to landscapes to abstract work, following inspiration wherever it appears.

"I'm always on the lookout for moments of remarkable light in everyday settings. I hope to capture something of the motion, texture and magic of real life."

“I like to retain a vitality to my paintings by not overworking the scenes and valuing the authentic spontaneity of a sketch.”
