Self-Portrait Looking at the Sunrise presents new paintings by Gerald Davis—a year's worth of self-portraits alongside three seascapes, united by a single preoccupation with light. Davis came to the self-portrait practically: he is always available to pose, comfortable with solitude, and unburdened by the anxiety of getting a likeness wrong. What the paintings record are shifts in mood across seasons and an honest accounting of a face over time. The portraits look inward, while the seascapes look toward the horizon. Together, they form one continuous gaze.
