Artist Craig Davison and his child heroes

As children, we all played, imagining ourselves as heroes of films and books. British artist Craig Davison was no exception. But with age, childhood never disappeared from him, so Craig paints pictures with children, in the images of famous characters. His works are filled with good humor and charge the viewer with a good mood and slight nostalgia.

Craig Davison became a professional artist relatively recently, in 2007. But before that, his work was also related to creativity. He was a cartoonist, 3D sculptor and illustrator, collaborating with famous animation studios and advertising agencies.

Davison is now one of the UK's best-selling artists. His paintings are sold at famous auctions around the world. There are collectors who are willing to pay well to get the master’s next work.

The artist says that in his childhood, games were not quite the same as in his paintings. But the general meaning of entertainment remains the same and the kids imagine themselves as heroes and fatal beauties.

Davison reflects the real world of childhood in his paintings. It saddens him that English children prefer to imagine themselves as American heroes. What worries him even more is that today many people try on the images of anti-heroes, killers and monsters. This was rare in his childhood, but now it is the norm.

However, Craig makes it his mission to portray the real picture. Therefore, the children in his paintings depict not only Batman, but also Jason from Friday the 13th.

If you liked Davison's paintings, then you will probably like the works of these artists, who take us back to childhood.
