A unique process lies at the heart of Davis's work, a journey that goes beyond manual labor. With each scoop of soil, he recollects the past: the memories of the land, the homage to India's diverse topography. His travels take him to the distant and isolated corners, from which he brings back soils imbued with a place's essence. These soils are more than just pigments for his artwork; they are narrators. He fashions them into abstract shapes that display the texture of every locale. Thus, the geographical and artistic commune unprecedentedly within his paintings and sculptures. As you gaze upon this exhibition, think deeply about the profundity of every grain of soil and its associated location. The varying depths and hues of the soil are layered together as they once were in their source, beckoning viewers to bear witness to nature's greatest storyteller. Behold this intricately crafted terrain that reveals the hidden treasures of our nation, its past, present, and future. Alex Davis has imagined a cartography for generations to come, one capable of unlocking its secrets with each glance; an exploration of land through color, shape, and texture.
