Gordon Davidson Modern Art

General information

Gordon Davidson of Gordon Davidson Modern Art (GDMA) specializes in large-scale, abstract paintings that run the gamut from bright and energizing to subtle and deeply meditative. Davidson says his goal is to create engaging images that enrich the human condition and celebrate the new visions often opened up via science and technology. Constantly experimenting with new techniques, materials, and pigments, Davidson often draws inspiration from the environment around him. In particular, it’s the colour, light, and designs found in Morocco that have influenced his latest series of works. Painted largely on aluminium, these pieces reflect the light as it changes over the course of the day, and occasionally glow as if lit from within.

A native of the Scottish Highlands, Davidson currently divides his time between Edinburgh and Marrakech, where he’s working to create a “cultural bridge” between young people in the UK and Morocco, using art as the link between the two countries. Davidson hopes his work can make people think, even a little, about the key issues and challenges that they face.
