Ty Davis – Contemporary Abstract Artist, Curator, and Cultural Innovator

Ty Davis is a contemporary abstract artist and curator based in Charleston, South Carolina, known for his bold use of color, intuitive compositions, and powerful explorations of Black identity and lived experience. Working primarily with acrylics, dyes, and mixed media, Davis creates large-scale abstract paintings that blur the line between spiritual expression and emotional resonance. His distinctive use of blue—particularly Prussian blue and Payne’s grey—invites viewers to reflect on themes of generational trauma, resilience, and transformation.

As the founder of Tiguere Contemporary, a platform dedicated to amplifying underrepresented voices in contemporary art, Davis curates exhibitions that challenge mainstream narratives and center the stories of Black artists.
