About Jose Dávila
For more than two decades, Jose Dávila (b. 1974, Guadalajara, México) has been working in the sculptural field, creating works that bring together materials in precarious compositions. Dávila challenges the viewer to face the elements and construction of the work from different perspectives, observing how they are capable of making rawness and fragility coexist, as well as organic and artificial form, system and chaos, danger, and peace. His work has been exhibited at Yuz Museum, Museo Universitario del Chopo, Hamburger Kunsthalle, Marfa Contemporary, and Museum Voorlinden, among others
