Primarily based in Los Angeles, Noah Davis created a body of figurative paintings that explores a range of Black life. Motivated by the desire to ‘represent the people around me’, Davis painted figures diving into pools, sleeping, dancing, and looking at art in scenes that can be both realistic and dreamlike, joyful and melancholic. Davis drew from anonymous photography, personal archives, film, art history and his imagination to create a ravishing body of work.

Often enigmatic, his paintings reveal a deep feeling for humanity and the emotional textures of everyday. In 2012, Davis co-founded The Underground Museum to provide free access to world-class art for people of Arlington Heights, LA.

This exhibition presents over 50 of Davis’ works in painting, sculpture, curating and community-building from 2007 to his untimely death in 2015.
