Cob Library presents a selection of works by celebrated British photographer Jack Davison - examples from his 2022 debut solo exhibition at the gallery - Photographic Etchings.

Uncovering the surreal and the sensual in everyday life, Jack Davison’s use of chiaroscuro, framing and exposure as instruments of abstraction draws on a photographic tradition that extends through figures like Saul Leiter, Shoji Udea, August Sander and Man Ray. His playful and curious approach is shaped by the equally formative space of online platforms like Flickr and Tumblr, where he first developed his craft as a young man taking pictures in the Essex countryside.

The Photographic Etchings series presents a selection from Davison’s monochrome archive. All works are handprinted using a polymer photogravure technique by the artist in London.
