Grenville Davey sculpture
Grenville Davey’s work references 20th century art practice and creates a dialogue between various, apparently conflicting, styles. Well is based on the iconic shape of a modern drinks can and employs the pop-art habit of taking ordinary objects and redefining their status as art objects. Davey changes the original mass-produced shape, and refers to the experiments with sheet metals and abstract shapes conducted by the ‘New Generation’ sculptors, such as Anthony Caro and Phillip King, from the 1960s.
