Chris Davis is an Atlanta-based, self-taught visual artist born in Weymouth, England, and raised in England, Germany, Jamaica, and the United States. His work focuses primarily on portrait painting, influenced by painters such as John Singer-Sargent, Édouard Manet, and Edward Hopper; filmmakers like Barry Jenkins and David Lynch; and writers including James Baldwin and Kurt Vonnegut.
