Noah Davis at the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles
If you are in or near Los Angeles and you're reading this before August 31, 2025, stop reading and go to the Hammer Museum immediately to see the work of Noah Davis.
If you're a painter, you will want to rush to your studio. If you're not a painter, it may make you want to pick up a brush, pen, or scissors. If you see it, you will be thinking about it for quite some time.
