Davies is popular with buyers and his latest exhibition of unpeopled architectural paintings – some of which feature fine, hand-cut stencil work and each of which has its own note of mystery – has sold out. Davies says he's not a frustrated architect but has always been "drawn to straight lines". Apparantly he likes a tidy studio too. These wonderful art works are worth a face-to-face visit; reproduction in newsprint and onscreen does not do them justice.
