Lump is very pleased to present Bad Dreams Starring Good Friends an exhibition of new work by Daniel Davidson and Josh Rickards. Lump will host an opening reception Friday, December 4th from 7 - 10pm during the First Friday Gallery Walk in downtown Raleigh. The exhibition will run from December 4th, 2009 - January 2nd, 2010 and is on view Saturdays from noon - 5pm.
Bad Dreams Starring Good Friends brings together two amazing artists for one great show. Daniel Davidson is out of New York City and Josh Rickards works out of Philadelphia.
Daniel Davidson's work is a fusion of hybrid characters, spaces and styles. Focusing on the urges and consequences of actions on a personal and social level, his work for the past few years has been about over-consumption. Often employing the comic or the grotesque, it is a reflection of societal overload, of the complexities of modern life, and the excesses and addictions that surround us.
Josh Rickards grew up on an Island in SW Florida where his Dad was the local preacher and where people believed there was a yeti that lived in the everglades. He makes some work based on druid robes, southern rock, blue-collar patterns and Sly Stone. It's all stuff to nerd out about. Josh is a member of both Team Lump and Vox Populi in Philadelphia.
