Ken Davies Biography: Ken is 83 years old now and still actively painting. He is working on the publication of a new monograph, chronicling his six-decade career, with more than 100 color plates. In a career spanning more than half a century,
Ken Davies has been heralded as one of the country?s foremost still life painters. Born in 1925 in New Bedford, Massachusetts, Davies attended the Massachusetts School of Art in Boston and Yale School of Fine Arts, where he earned his B.F.A. In 1980, he received an honorary Doctor of Fine Arts degree from the New England School of Law. He has been affiliated with Paier School of Art in Hamden, Connecticut since 1953, where he first worked as an instructor (1), then served as Dean from 1 and Visiting Professor and Dean Emeritus from 1981 to 1991. Since 1991, he has devoted his time exclusively to painting.
Davies refers to himself as an abstract realist. He is a master of the trompe l?oeil School of painting, his work bearing the influence of several 19th century American still-life painters of this tradition, most notably William M. Harnett. Davies? still-life paintings are carefully-orchestrated, compositions created from what he refers to as ?props,? often nostalgic objects discovered at antique stores, which he arranges with an eye to the relationships between them, especially contrasts in shape, color, texture and value.
While he strives to depict these objects with painstaking precision - often requiring 75 to 100 hours to complete a still life, 400 for a trompe l?oeil ? Davies is not a slave to realism. Rather, he delves into the abstract by incorporating invented spaces into his paintings and making deliberate modifications in the proportion, value and hue of the objects before him to suit his artistic concept.
In 1950, Ken Davies was invited to exhibit his work with Hewitt Gallery, where his paintings kept company with those of Andrew Wyeth, Paul Cadmus and Robert Vickery. Since then, Davies? work has traveled beyond the New York City art scene to exhibitions and competitions throughout the country, as well as a show of American Symbolic Realism in London, England, to which Davies received a personal invitation.
Today, the work of Ken Davies can be viewed in numerous museum collections, including the Smithsonian Institute, the White House Historical Association, the Wadsworth Atheneum (Hartford, CT), the New Bedford Whaling Museum (MA) and the Montgomery Museum of Fine Arts.

You have the wrong artist for these prints. Those drawings were made by Ken Burke. I have one of the originals. They are great, but, sadly, not as famous as Ken Davies'. You might want to change your listing.
