Our featured artist is the internationally acclaimed lowertown paducah icon Alonzo Davis.

A lifelong pioneer of the african american art movement, Alonzo Davis’ career as an artist spans for five decades, and his work has been shown from coast to coast. he is the owner and founder of A.I.R. Studio here in our community, which has long been an important hub for paducah’s visiting and resident artists.

Over the years, Davis’ work has been inspired by his extensive travels. The colorful and richly decorative art for which he is known has been informed by worldwide artistic traditions.

artist’s statement:

My art choices and world views have been inspired by travel. Through travel, I seek influences, cultural centers, energies, new terrain and the power of both the spoken and unspoken. The magic of the Southwest United States, Brazil, Haiti and West Africa has penetrated my work. Southern California, my home for thirty years, has also had an indelible impact and the colors and rhythms of the Pacific Rim continue to infiltrate. In recent years, I have been creating works about social justice issues and the worsening climate crisis.
I’ve created art for exterior and interior spaces—both large and small scale.  Works range from free-standing and suspended sculptures, to wall and floor installations.  Bamboo, wood and paper, layered color and burned-in patterns are my hallmarks and whenever possible LED light elements are integrated in the composition or for a backlit effect.
