John Davies was born in Cheshire in 1946. He studied painting at Hull and Manchester art colleges between 1963 and 1967, followed by two years at the Slade School of Art, and then a sculpture scholarship at Gloucester College of Art. Although his work can be related to that of other contemporary painters and sculptors concerned with the representation of man - Bacon, Freud, Giacometti, Segal, Hanson or, in a closer context, Antonio Lopez, among others - Davies continues to occupy a singular place in British sculpture due to his personal vision of human representation. He lives and works between Kent and London.
