POP ReWired brings together the distinctive work of Brandon Jameson and Dollar Davis, two artists who transform familiar imagery through radically different approaches to contemporary Pop Art.
Brandon Jameson works primarily in acrylic and mixed media, creating vibrant interpretations of pop-culture figures and animals through his signature glitch aesthetic. Rough edges, fragmented forms, saturated colors, and layers of energetic mark-making give his paintings an intentionally chaotic quality, while a high-gloss resin finish seals the composition beneath a polished surface.
Dollar Davis approaches Pop Art from a more graphic and dimensional perspective. Working digitally before translating his designs into physical form, Davis uses laser-cut wood, individually painted components, and layered construction to create sculptural works inspired by Western imagery, Americana, and popular culture.
Their processes could hardly be more different, yet both artists share a fascination with transforming imagery that is already familiar to us. Jameson disrupts and reimagines his subjects through color, texture, and distortion; Davis deconstructs his imagery into individual elements before carefully rebuilding it in three dimensions.
POP ReWired is a meeting of chaos and precision, painting and construction, distortion and design—a look at how familiar images can be taken apart and made new again.
Brandon Jameson is a self-taught artist whose work is rooted in a lifelong fascination with making, experimentation and the transformation of familiar imagery.
Working primarily in acrylic and mixed media, Jameson is known for his energetic "glitch" style, in which recognizable pop-culture figures, animals and other subjects are fragmented through rough edges, expressive marks and intensely saturated color. His compositions balance recognizable imagery with a sense of controlled visual disorder, creating works that feel simultaneously chaotic and deliberate.
A defining element of Jameson's practice is his use of resin. The high-gloss finish seals the layers of color, texture and visual activity beneath a polished surface, creating a striking contrast between the apparent chaos of the image and the precision of its final presentation.
Jameson began painting without formal training, initially motivated simply by a desire to create artwork he wanted to live with. What began as an experiment in making art for his own walls developed into a continuing artistic practice and an evolving visual language of his own.
Dollar Davis is the pseudonym of Los Angeles-based artist and photographer Brian Davis, whose work explores contemporary Western Pop Art and Americana through a distinctive combination of digital design and handcrafted construction.
Davis begins his compositions digitally, translating imagery into precisely cut wooden components using laser technology. Each section is then individually painted and assembled to create layered, dimensional works that transform familiar Western imagery into bold contemporary compositions.
Raised near the beaches of Southern Orange County, Davis developed a visual language influenced by the landscapes and culture of Southern California, as well as the mythology of the American West. His work draws particular inspiration from the Western films of Sergio Leone and the iconic musical scores of Ennio Morricone, reinterpreting familiar Western themes through a contemporary graphic sensibility.
The name Dollar Davis pays tribute to his ancestor Dollar Davis, a woodworker who came west to America in 1634.
