lisa corinne davis

lisa corinne davis is an american visual artist who is known for her intricate map-like paintings .
her paintings occupy a point somewhere between cartooning and cartography , abstraction and figuration .
her work is an exploration of racial , social , and psychological identity , and through the development of her painting lexicon she expresses her personal experience as an african-american woman in the 21st century , and , by extension , that of an individual in modern society .
the images are oddly familiar but essentially ephemeral , visually resonant but also deliberately enigmatic .
she is currently a professor of painting and combined media at hunter college .
lisa also has taught at parsons school of design , cooper union school of art , and yale university .
davis lives and works in brooklyn and hudson , new york and is represented by gerald peters gallery , new york , ny , galerie gris , hudson , ny and the mayor gallery , london .
