Rolling Stones Original Screen Print by Davo Titled Babylon and Beyond
Screen print seragraph signed by the artist The technique involves making a stencil-like silkscreen of a photograph. A kaleidoscope of paint is daubed on a canvas. Expensive, powerful lights burn the image on the canvas, and embellishments with the brush transform the photo into a work of art. By the time he reached New York, he'd gone through cubist, Gauganesque and Daliesque periods. The name dropping Davo's penchant for friending celebrities got him an invitation to visit Warhol's famous studio, the Factory. "Andy took a liking to me. Though he was very busy, he let me hang out," Davo said. Observing the artist's pop art technique of beginning with a photograph and turning it into a painting, the dirt-poor Davo saw the chance to combine both of his interests and actually produce something that would sell. Since 1983, Davo has taken Warhol's method a step further. He mixes phosphorous with acrylic and coats the canvas. Customers in effect get two pieces of art for the price of one. Turn out the lights, and his paintings glow with a quite different look.
