Wet bar art: an inexact tribute to Gene Davis
July 17, 2025
We just rebuilt our office/studio wet bar, so I created a graphic in Adobe Illustrator for the back wall. Rendered as a print on aluminum backing (30 x 50), it’s sort of an homage inspired by Gene Davis, the D.C.-area artist famous for creating the Color Field series of vertically-striped paintings. Gene’s stripes were always meticulously painted solid colors; I used a series of gradients.
The art world intelligentsia in New York had little, if any, appreciation for Color School, Color Field, or Gene Davis in particular. Their disdain for his work kept it from gaining the wider respect it should have received. It always struck me as a bit provincial.

Does anyone want or need to be persuaded that their religion is “wrong” when they’re at work? This isn’t religious freedom, it's harassment.
Their music is so beautiful and so wonderfully performed. The closest I think I get to a religious experience these days.
