Notes

John Davies' work has concentrated on male figures or heads both modelled and cast from life. They have a timeless, serene quality which recalls ancient Greek or Egyptian sculpture. The artist said:'The experiences we all have and share are not new but they are unique to every one of us. The art of the past shares in this. The track I am on is contained somewhere in this notion.'
