Cerri Auckland Davies

Cerri Auckland Davies was born in West Wales in 1951. He studied at Newport College of Art and Birmingham Polytechnic.
Since 1992 he has been working in egg tempera on board, mixing all his own paints from pure pigment. The quick drying nature of the medium allows many thin layers of paint to build up quickly achieving a distinct luminosity in his work. The quality of egg tempera allows him to create the atmospheric effects that portray the varying moods of his landscapes.
Where land meets water has become a recurrent theme in his work. This is explored in shapes and textures seen along the coastlines of Wales, which are a constant source of inspiration for his work.
