Deondre Davis (b.1991, Chicago) lives and works in Los Angeles. He is a self-taught painter and object maker whose main interests lie at the intersections of architecture, space, and identity. These topics inform his practice which primarily consists of painting with a focus on abstraction and a meticulous application of colors and textures to convey emotions connected to personal experiences.
Solo exhibitions include Gordon Robichaux in New York (2026 and 2024) and CASTLE in Los Angeles (2025). Davis was awarded residencies at Chinati Foundation in Marfa, TX (2026) and at Rondo in Mexico City, MX (2025).
Recent group exhibitions include Glastonbury, organized by Conrad Guevara at Sidecar, Los Angeles, CA; Finding Aid, organized by Matt Connors at Goldsmiths Centre for Contemporary Art, London, UK; Jamb, organized by Conrad Guevara at Et al., San Francisco, CA; LOVESCENE, organized by Mara Hassan and Wes Hardin, 17 N Oxford, Brooklyn, NY; and Amerikas Most Wanted, a two-artist show with Acaccia Marable, organized by Keto Jackson at Attom, Los Angeles, CA.
Davis is co-facilitator, with artist Anima Correa, of Support Group, a working group for artists to reflect and speak about shared experiences. As an extension of their ongoing meetings at Los Angeles Contemporary Archive (LACA), they presented break room at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, as part of the 2023 edition of Made in LA.
