PART 2 - TM Davy: A film by John O’ Rourke Grounded in the belief that all of art history informs the present, Davy’s technique is marked by a virtuosic layering of colour and a masterful use of light and shadow. His attention to texture and hue draws deeply from classical tradition, while his handling of paint — confident, gestural, at times joyously loose — is unmistakably contemporary. With a lineage that stretches from Reynolds to Turner, Davy takes us to a threshold where intimacy, mystery, and the inner self converge. He stands at the intersection of classical technique and modern sensibility, drawing on the rich tradition of portraiture to create images that feel at once ancient and immediate. Through his luminous compositions, he invites us to pause and reflect — to step into a space where the boundaries between the real and the imagined dissolve, and where the soul’s journey is lit by love, presence, and the quiet mysteries of being TM Davy’s Tine Mara is on view until 22 June 2025 🔗 Watch the full video through he link in our bio @tmdavy @jorourke72

MONTRÉAL: Le travail de TM Davy se caractérise par ses portraits réalistes aux influences classiques. L’artiste prend le plus souvent pour modèle son entourage proche, et établit une relation intime avec le spectateur, qu’il intègre à sa sphère privée. Sa technique précise et sophistiquée se construit sur un rapport intense entre ombre et lumière, évoquant une étude détaillée des chefs-d’œuvre du XVIIe siècle de Van Dyck et de Caravage. Son travail a fait l’objet d’expositions à la Company Gallery (New York, États-Unis), ainsi qu’à la Galerie Thomas Fuchs (Stuttgart, Allemagne). TM Davy’s work is characterized by his realistic portraits with classical influences. He often uses his close circle as models, establishing an intimate relationship with the viewer, inviting him into his private sphere. His precise and sophisticated technique builds on an intense interplay of shadow and light, reminiscent of the detailed studies of 17th-century masterpieces by Van Dyck and Caravaggio. His work has been exhibited at the Company Gallery (New York, United States) and the Galerie Thomas Fuchs (Stuttgart, Germany). 📍: 2020 rue William, Arsenal art contemporain Montréal 🎟️ Lien en bio / link in bio @tmdavy Fire Island Moonrise, 2018 Huile sur lin / Oil on linen 335,3 x 335,3 cm / 132 x 132 in.

🎨🎉 New @TalkArt podcast episode! We meet artist TM Davy @TMDavy on the eve on his next solo exhibition in #Margate, UK. Based in Brooklyn and Fire Island, Davy is best known for his figurative paintings and pastels, which evoke a luminous, dreamlike reality, TM Davy conjures intimate worlds where figures glow with an almost metaphysical presence, transcending the purely visual. Light and form take on an ethereal quality, reflecting emotions, memories, and the quiet subtleties of human experience. Every brushstroke, every shift of light, seems imbued with a deeper resonance — suggesting that the figures portrayed are not mere representations but vessels of something otherworldly, carrying with them the weight of untold stories and silent truths. Blending careful realism with archetypal symbolism, Davy’s work explores love as a sphere of magic and protection — a space where human connection is not just physical, but transcendent; where bonds are forged in realms of the spiritual and the unseen. His figures often seem suspended in a state of grace, bathed in light that is both gentle and intense, creating an atmosphere of reverence and awe. His work suggests that love, in its purest form, is both a force of transformation and a quiet shield — invisible, radiant, and profound. Grounded in the belief that all of art history informs the present, Davy’s technique is marked by a virtuosic layering of colour and a masterful use of light and shadow. His attention to texture and hue draws deeply from classical tradition, while his handling of paint — confident, gestural, at times joyously loose — is unmistakably contemporary.

TM Davy Joins Carl Freedman Gallery Best known for his figurative paintings and pastels, which evoke a luminous, dreamlike reality, Davy’s works conjure intimate worlds where figures glow with an almost metaphysical presence, transcending the purely visual. Light and form take on an ethereal quality, reflecting emotions, memories, and the quiet subtleties of human experience. Every brushstroke, every shift of light, seems imbued with a deeper resonance, suggesting that the figures portrayed are not mere representations but vessels of something otherworldly, carrying with them the weight of untold stories and silent truths.   Grounded in the belief that all of art history informs the present, Davy’s technique is marked by a virtuosic layering of vibrant colour and a masterful use of light and shadow. His attention to detail in texture and hue draws from centuries of classical tradition, yet his application of paint is entirely contemporary, conveying a sense of immediacy and relevance. With a lineage that stretches back to Reynolds and Turner, Davy takes us on a journey into the threshold where relationships, mystery, and inner worlds merge into one. He stands at the intersection of classical technique and modern sensibilities, pulling from the rich tradition of portraiture to create images that are at once timeless and contemporary. Through his luminous compositions, Davy invites us to pause, reflect, and enter a space where the boundaries between the real and the imagined are fluid, and where the soul’s journey is illuminated by the light of love, connection, and the mysteries of existence.   Davy’s work builds on over a decade of exhibitions that explore light as both a phenomenon and a metaphor, where painting becomes a threshold to relationships, mystery, and inner worlds. Fae at @CompanyGallery in New York in 2023 journeyed into caves where queer magic burns beneath a changing world. His first UK solo-exhibition ‘Tine Mara’ opens 26 April 2025 @CarlFreedmanGallery in Margate. @TMDavy
