Artist Paul Davies will be the subject of Gallery Talk Friday, April 10, at L/A Arts’ Gallery 5 in Lewiston.

Curator Tammie Grieshaber will interview him about his career, inspiration and art from from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Those attending will have a chance to ask questions.

Davies was born and educated in England, studying at the Chesterfield School of Art. After completing his studies, he immigrated with his immediate family to Los Angeles.

He works in a variety of mediums, including oil, graphite and pastel ranging in size from small to large. His work is primarily figurative in nature and is imbued with compelling yet subtle emotion with an almost dark brooding quality.

Many of Davies’ works are now in private collections both in the United States and abroad, with exhibitions in California, Texas, Maine and Osaka, Japan. He has several pieces in L/A Arts Gallery 5 exhibit “Figures and Portraits,” up through April 25.

He works in his studio and resides in rural Maine, an environment which, he said, has “enriched his work to no end.”

Gallery Talks are free, but reservations are appreciated so adequate seating can be provided. Call 782-7228. Gallery 5 is at 49 Lisbon St.
