Tyrone Davies- Purgatory of Sweat, Crucible of Bullets

House Gallery is pleased to present San Francisco based conceptual artist and filmmaker, Tyrone Davies. Daviesʼ innovative work manifests through myriad medium; video, installation, sculpture, performance, printmaking and painting, to name a few. he is perhaps most well known for his film and video installation through which he scrutinizes one of the most ubiquitous forms of media, television.

Daviesʼ work is a critical exploration of mass culture and spectacle, as well a direct material appraisal of consumption and obsoleted technologies. Through his thoughtful investigations, Davies draws the viewersʼ attention to the underlining values of a collective culture and obsession with innovation.

Daviesʼ recent work, “purgatory of Sweat, Crucible of Bullets” will be showing at the House Gallery from March 28th through April 2th, with an artistʼs reception on april 1st from 6:00 – 9:00 p.m. House Gallery is committed to cutting edge contemporary art in Utah, and is located at 29 e. 400 s.
