A walk in the park 2

This exhibition is the second presentation of the Reconstructed Landscape Series at Galería Omar Alonso in Puerto Vallarta, the first having taken place in 2021. From 2019 to 2021, Individual works from this series had already appeared in group exhibitions in Germany, the United States, and at the Tamayo Museum in Mexico City, but it was this first edition that became a catalyst leading to Re-construcción de la memoria at the Museo de las Artes de la Universidad de Guadalajara (MUSA), and from there to an international presence at the Podo Museum in Jeju, Korea, as part of the exhibition Perhaps Sunny Days, that inaugurated in 2024.

The current exhibition, Davis Birks: a walk in the park 2, brings together 32 works: paintings, sculptures, and installations ranging from intimate objects to room-scale interventions, and occupied the gallery's four distinct spaces in ways to create conceptual layering.

 
Reconstructed Landscape Series, 2019 to present

Based on the traditional landscape painting, the work of the Reconstructed Landscape Series gives evidence to the process of a landscape created, then destroyed or deconstructed, to be rebuilt again in a distinct form.

The idea of loss and a point of no return are the underlying concepts of this series. The process and end result of these works demonstrate a simple analogy to our relationship with the natural environment  ─  we cannot go back in time to undo the damage that has already been done; we can only move forward and put back together the pieces to reconstruct as best we can.

As agent of the destructive process in the Reconstructed Landscape Series, I remind myself I am in part, the cause of the actual environmental crisis we face.

Through the process of this work the destroyed landscapes are put back together once again, each a record of its own destruction and reconstruction.
