JEROD DAVIES, KNOWN AS DTOX

Jerod Davies, who works under the name DTOX, is a self-taught, multi-disciplinary artist who grew up in Dallas, Texas after spending his early years in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Raised within a family of visual artists, he shifts easily between styles and shows a natural flair for color and richly detailed application. A deep-rooted pull toward unconventional beauty drives his passionate approach to making art. Texture weighs heavily on his work, and his style resists easy labels even as it invites description: striking portraits that feel both believable and surreal, blunt yet elaborate, laced with vivid sarcasm. Gifted at blending technology-driven themes with old-world elegance, his pieces are a pleasure to look at and just as easy to connect with. His instinctive feel for both technology and nature keeps pushing his practice forward year after year.
