Davis Lisboa Reveals his art with an explosion of colors and dymanic expression. Emanuel von Lauenstein Massarani
The vision of Davis Lisboa is attracted by all the possibilities of expression:
colour, line, space and meaning. Although he had moved away from a certain realism still implicit in his present canvas establishing almost a prologue
to the definitive adoption of an abstractionism totally influenced by the availability of the artist to the evocation of a pictorical image being both informal
and symbolical at the same time.
His painting represents the synthesis of a classic and a modern vision of the world. The artist has arrived to this situation with a careful chromatic investigation where masses of colors are mixed to express his world directed to an immediate dynamism of rare expressive power.
Davis Lisboa has found the key of this interpretation in his profiles
that as a whole he transforms into a true explosion of colours. Before being fixed images on the canvas his paintings constitute an experimented "reality"
in the thought. From this reality an essential painting is born, where colour, drawing
and composition are invented in an instant, without rethinking, without mistaking.
The matter does not prevent the flow of the emotion: the instinct arises
with its fundamental force and it obtains conscientious and expressly
the support that welcomes it. Davis Lisboa is an artist of the civilization of our time that lives art as a revelation, as a message and as a consequence like true poetry.
