About

Why this artist matters now

Kenturah Davis builds figurative portraits by stamping individual letters and words directly onto paper and canvas, accumulating text into densely layered graphite and oil-based images. The written word functions simultaneously as mark-making unit and conceptual material, collapsing the boundary between language and likeness into a single gesture. Her work has been exhibited at the California African American Museum.
