About

Oscar Davis is an emerging artist working across pyrography, sculpture, and installation. He creates “future capsules”: contemporary heritage art hewn from capitalism’s offcuts, imaginatively transported into the future, to be examined by archaeologists as evidence of how 21st century society (dys)functioned. These capsules range from plywood stelae to dystopian work-stations and are tenderly assembled from the overflow of construction sites and highways. His visual language draws from the iconography of supermarket catalogues and root-rot. It attempts to articulate the tangled relationship between natural resources and mass production. He likes speculative archaeology, micro-plastics, and long walks on the beach.
