Ian Davenport
British, b. 1966
Ian Davenport is a British Contemporary Abstract artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Museum of Modern Art. Ian Davenport was born in Sidcup.
Ian Davenport doesn’t overthink color, he just pours it. The British artist is known for letting liquid paint drip down canvases in flawless, candy-colored ribbons, turning something as simple as gravity into a mesmerizing process. He once said he liked the way paint behaves like "a living thing," and you can see that in works like Poured Painting 2015.
If you’ve ever watched paint dry (and who hasn’t?), catch his solo show at Waddington Custot in London, where the walls themselves seem to sweat color.
