LIZ DAVIS:
works

Liz Davis is an artist working at Cubitt Studios in London. She is a painter, but also works in 3D, film and collage. Liz says:

Muscovites believe that at nightfall the statue of Yuri Gagarin shakes off his heavy gauntlets and sets off on nocturnal wanderings above the City and beyond. As dawn approaches Garagin must hurry back to his pedestal on top of a column on Leninsky Prospekt, within sight of the Golden Brain [the Russian Academy of Sciences building] for us to fantasise as to where he has been during the hours of darkness. My work is the result of a visit to Moscow in the winter of 2017. The scale of everything, infrastructure, public monuments and architecture is gigantic.
