Mike Davis Painter USA. 1961

Born in 1961 in Jacksonville, Florida, USA, Mike Davis lives in San Francisco where he works as a tattoo artist since 1992 in his own shop Everlasting Tattoo. He began his career as a tattoo artist in 1988. After being Dana Brunson’s apprentice, he developed a style combining contemporary vision linked to the evolution of the tattoo in the past 20 years and has a parallel painter career.
Great lover of art since his childhood, he attributes to his mother passionate, passionate about craftsmanship, his taste for painting. In 1997, completely self-taught, he began the realization of his first paintings and delves into a thorough study of art history. His subjects and styles borrow from many registers ranging from French surrealism to the Flemish masters of the Renaissance such as Jan van Eyck, Hieronymus Bosch and Pieter Brueghel to the Californian designer painter Robert Williams from the lowbrow movement. In a symbolist approach, Mike Davis sprinkles in his paintings a plethora of intimate references covering episodes of his daily life and his favorite objects. One way to test the intelligence of the spectator.
