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.
In 2024, Davis presented his first solo exhibition at Gordon Robichaux in New York. Recent group exhibitions include 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.
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.
