Teacher View: Noah Davis

40 Acres and a Unicorn 2007

Calling all teachers! Join us for an introduction to Noah Davis, our new exhibition in the Art Gallery. 

Considered to be one of the most original and uncanny painters emerging in recent years, Noah Davis was motivated by the desire to ‘represent the people around me’. Drawing from anonymous photography, personal archives, film, art history and his imagination, his paintings reveal a deep feeling for humanity and the emotional textures of the everyday.

This event includes free entry to the Noah Davis exhibition with an introduction from a member of our curatorial team. There'll be an opportunity to meet and connect with fellow educators, and to find out more about our schools programmes. Plus, our dedicated team will be on hand to answer any questions you may have about bringing your learners along to the exhibition.

The Noah Davis exhibition is on display in our Art Gallery until Sun 11 May.
