Abbie Davies creates paintings that address consumer culture, fashion labels, food branding, social media memes and advertisements.

​

Starting with digital images, the artworks are adaptations of late capitalistic scenes made by resin varnish to diminish signs of painterly gesture. Davies' 'packaged paintings' create a unique feeling of looking at the artwork like a product itself/ commodity.       

 

The combination of renaissance still life backgrounds, 21st century elements and patinated colours of advertisement campaigns creates a contemporary story-tale into the mass glorified junk that we consume daily.
