An Audio Described tour of the exhibition, for blind and partially sighted visitors, led by Lisa Squirrel, who will describe key works on display.

Discover the magic of the everyday in this debut retrospective of works by visionary American artist Noah Davis. Motivated by the desire to ‘represent the people around me’, Davis painted figures diving into pools, sleeping, dancing, and looking at art. Both realistic and dreamlike, joyful and melancholic, his paintings reveal a deep feeling for humanity and the emotional textures of everyday life.

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