Chasworldaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaais is an online gallery, a working studio, an ongoing work of art by Chas Davis.


     Chasworld is the online studio of Chas Davis, where you can see my latest art work and online exhibitions at ATDE Gallery. See what I made today at Today's Work, or keep up to date on the latest events and open studio days at the Galvin/Davis Studio page. On the Rambling Bio page I babble on and on about myself, trying to make sense of it all. You may enrich your personal environment and stimulate the economy by purchasing art works ranging from ten dollars to a million dollars from the online Catalog. I hope you enjoy the site, feel free to leave a comment or check links to my favorite artists on the Contact page. I would like to thank my friends from Canada, France, Italy, Israel, and Sweden for checking out Chasworld. Thanks as well to people from around the world who have been visiting-Australia, Brazil, Finland, Germany, Great Britain, India, Ireland, Japan, Malaysia, Malta, Moldova, the Netherlands, Pakistan, Portugal,  Romania, South Korea, Taiwan, Thailand, and Turkey! I recently finished a new painting, the Penultimate Wave, along with some small drawings. Check it all out at Today's Work.

    This month-June 2009-is the six month anniversary of Chasworld, and I would like to say thank you to the several thousand people from over twenty countries who have visited the web site. Thank you to the many who have left messages, and thank you especially to those who have purchased my art work through the web site! It has been nice to connect with old friends and make new ones. As you can see, Chasworld has been growing little by little, and I hope you will continue to check back and stay in touch.

       In my 40 or so years as an artist I have met a lot of people, had a lot of crazy times, and made a lot of friends. This site is for you, you know who you are. The things I make as an artist are for you, and I hope you enjoy them. Even if we haven't met yet, I hope you find them interesting, challenging, beautiful, joyful. What more could an artist hope for? Maybe you have been to my studio. Maybe I was your school bus driver. Maybe I was your teacher, or maybe you painted a picture with me. Maybe we went to school together. Maybe you were standing on a street corner on a cold winter night and I gave you my coat. I hope you went on to do great things, whoever you are. Maybe you fed me when I was hungry. Thank you! Maybe we loved each other, and when we looked into each other's eyes there was a moment when we had found what we were looking for, all along. Whoever you are, wherever you are, thank you.

    I have created a new page named Process. From time to time I will document the ongoing process of a painting from beginning to end. The first Process painting began on the Spring equinox, March 20, 2009, and you can see the first steps now. I want to show the simplicity of what my art is-my heart, my mind, my eyes, my hands, a can of paint, and a brush.

    In organizing the material for Chasworld I have come across lots of paintings, drawings, and other things that I have long forgotten about. As a part of the documentary aspect of Chasworld I will begin to show some of this material on the new Portfolio page, which will also have a link to www.GalvinDavisStudio.com.

Catalog

I recently came across the print below, Carnival-it was done in 1996 as a project with Master Printer Jeff Cooper. It is a serigraph in 8 colors from 8 hand drawn(by me) screens. There are a handful of prints remaining, and I am offering them for sale for $95 each on the Catalog Page. Also shown is Figure, a  print also offered in the Catalog under the Print category, for $45.
