The Discerner Phil Davison Phil Davison works predominantly in cross-stitch, fusing this traditional hand stitching technique with imagery from his visual universe, a mix of street art and pop-culture. Creating unique hand stitched pieces alongside limited edition prints of his work, Davison has exhibited internationally and amassed a loyal following of collectors. He is particularly inspired by image reproduction techniques striving to replicate these in cross-stitch. To accurately render and mimic the original technique that inspired its conception demands a high level of precision, some pieces taking over a year of hand stitching to complete. It is exactly this dedication to precision which drives Davison’s evolution of this craft into the realm of fine art. “Blurred Skull” - 2014 - Ed 1/1 - £13000 Hand embroidered 14 count canvas Approximately 80.000 hand stitches 77 x 58cm “CYMK Skull” - 2014 - Ed 3/13 - £1800 Hand embroidered 11 count canvas Approximately 40.000 hand stitches 77 x 55cm “Always on My Mind” - 2015 - Ed 1/1 - £13000 Hand embroidered 14 count canvas Approximately 1600 hours of hand stitching 84 x 58cm “Floral Skull Rug” - 2014 - Ed 1/1 - £7750 3 count latch hook canvas hand hooked with 22.000 tufts of 100 % wool 120 x 90cm T: 07801921252 E: [email protected] W: phildavisonart.com For all enquiries, please contact Phil or Celine at [email protected] or 0207 491 9925 www.thediscer ne r . c om 19
