Jose Dàvila

nca | nichido contemporary art is pleased to present Mexican artist Jose Dávila’s Japan-first solo show River Stones. I his work Dávila embodies artistic and architectural elements appropriated and recontextualized from iconic artists throughout history, and by so doing he reflects on the definition of conceptual art that states that it is the content and not the form what gives importance and meaning to a work of art.
Through his practice, Dávila investigates aspects such as space, mass, balance and materiality, which are all an example of physical force, creating works whose shape is in constant conversation with art history.
Bringing to the fore a visual articulation of the force of gravity through precarious balance, and a desire to draw attention to historical references that have particular meaning for the artist, the exhibition features a selection of new works which consists of 9 paintings and 2 sculptures.
