Davie is now 93 and still painting and drawing regularly. His work has a shamanistic style that reminds me a bit of Alfred Jensen's numerical/alphabetical works and Jungian symbolist work. He had some early success in the states in the 50's but has since concentrated on working and showing in the U.K. Too bad for us. Would be great to see a retrospective of his life's work some where here.
