A Way to Relax

Pete’s art is unmistakable. His style is somehow bold, minimalist, realistic, and psychedelic all at once. The most pertinent characteristic, however, is that his stuff really doesn’t look like anybody else’s. So much of the work in any fine arts community has these identifying qualities that associate it with a particular school, or telegraph the artist’s influences, but Pete Davies’ art really just looks like Pete Davies art. The most identifiable influence visible in Pete’s work is the landscapes of the American West. The stark and scorched desert country of Arizona and New Mexico - the buttes, ridges, canyons, and hogbacks of California - the vast coniferous forests and snow-capped peaks of Montana, and the primeval temperate rain forests of Washington and Oregon... These are the works of art that Pete Davies is influenced by. Few artists enjoy such unfettered communion with a subject so vast and wild as the Rocky Mountain West, and few art scenes benefit from such an original voice as Pete Davies - An American original.
