davmo is an American self-taught artist who works in various mediums. In this mid-career survey, CAC presents the local artist’s works chronologically from the late 1980s to present-day. Categorized in sub-sections that are determined by his process, the exhibition walks a viewer through the life and history of a Hampton Roads legend.
In the past decade alone he has created more than 3000 works. His body of work is so prolific that it has inspired a new generation of young talent, the “Young Guns,” who will exhibit alongside him this fall.
The Young Guns include:
| Charlie Restless |
| Berk Visual |
Chelsey Barnes |
| MSYiii |
| Gus Fink |
| THH70 |
Working in drawing, painting, sculpture, photo-collage and mixed media, davmo’s iconography depicts varied interests—music, street culture, skate and surf culture, art history, personal narrative and memory. Inspired by Fluxus, Dada and Graffiti Art movements, davmo has had major presence in the Hampton Roads art scene for more than 20 years. CAC pairs davmo’s work with objects created by a younger generation of local artists who are grappling with similar ideologies and cultural constructs.
