Ian Davis's exhibition, 'GOD'S EYE VIEW', offers a profound exploration of the hidden forces shaping society through the lens of powerful elites. His art depicts a stark contrast between the upper echelons of power and those affected by their decisions, represented through rich visual metaphors—like a colonizer's parade and men scaling icy mountains. The works evoke themes of anonymity, futility, and the socio-political impact of oligarchic control, questioning the nature of agency and governance in contemporary society. This is Davis's first solo exhibition in Los Angeles in over five years.
In 'GOD'S EYE VIEW', Ian Davis reveals the enigmatic power dynamics of societal elites, exploring their opaque, generation-spanning control over critical systems in modern life.
Davis's work encapsulates the contrasting experiences of the elite and the colonized, using imagery that provokes questions about agency and visibility in a complex landscape.
