About
Elijah Davidson is an artist enamoured with the rituals of life. He generally works with paint and print as his main mediums but would classify himself more as a conceptual artist - working with whatever medium his ideas dictate - which has led him to works involving video, sound and installation.
He is influenced by art history, finding solace and inspiration in museums, galleries and places of worship- areas of intentionally combined cultural and historical significance. Specifically, he has spent much time poring over the work of queer artists before him, such as Derek Jarman and Peter Hujar, and thus, following in their footsteps, would like to explore the medium of super 8 film in the future.
Curation
Within the Jardin au Ermine project he acts as curator and artist - he has been enjoying seeing the resident artists pull their ideas together and really delve into the ideas that inspire them.
