Kai Samuels Davis is a contemporary painter who focuses on "the moments we keep to ourselves." His paintings, done in oil, are usually solitary portraits which capture the time spent in our head, alone and often not shared. His portraits often do not show an expression of communication, rather one of self reflection or daydreaming. My personal favorite effect of his is the motion blur in which he prompts the audience to live in the moment. He will take pictures of his models with the intentional blur in order to capture the true effects light and the brain on our vision. Davis says he tries to go for relatable feelings as well, actions we often do but never really think about.
