VISUAL ART & MUSEUMS

Todd Gordon was born in 1970 in Atlanta, Georgia, and was raised in Delaware, Ohio. He attended Northwestern University and received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Art History in 1992. During his undergraduate career, he spent his junior year abroad in Florence, Italy studying Italian Renaissance and Baroque Art. This experience later led to an internship cataloguing Italian Art for the Prints and Drawings Department of the Art Institute of Chicago. Also while at NU, Gordon took his first painting course with the late artist Ed Paschke. Gordon received a Post-Baccalaureate degree in 1996 and an MFA in 1998, both in Painting and Drawing from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. While at the Art Institute, Gordon studied painting with Susanna Coffey and Dan Gustin. Gordon currently lives and works in Brooklyn, New York. 

Julyan Davis is an English-born artist who has lived in the South for twenty years. He received his art training at the Byam Shaw School of Art in London. In 1988, having completed his B.A. in painting and printmaking, he traveled to the South on a painting trip that was also fueled by an interest in the history of Demopolis, Alabama and its settling by Bonapartist exiles. Julyan's home is now in Asheville's Montford district. His work is exhibited from New York to Europe and is in many public and private collections. Recent acquisitions include the Gibbes Museum in Charleston and the North Carolina Governor's Mansion and Western Residence. Tinney Contemporary is pleased to introduce his new Southern landscapes and also his most recent interpretations of the South's rich musical heritage.
