STEEL, GREASE, GASOLINE
Thunder Bay Art Gallery, Thunder Bay, Canada, October 4 - January 5
Why so metal? Steel, Grease, Gasoline is the Thunder Bay debut solo exhibition by Colin Davis. In a series of oil paintings, he invites viewers to explore the complexities of rural life, the nuances of Northern masculinity, and the allure of the fantastic. Wielding brand imagery and influences from Heavy Metal Magazine and Dungeons and Dragons, Davis’ paintings evoke childhood memories and narratives and ask the viewer to reflect on the modern role of men.
