The gallery’s mission is to feature established and emerging artists who push the boundaries of art as expression, test the limits of media, and broaden the perspective and consciousness of audiences.

Current Exhibition

Jeff Davis: Rectangle Studies and Color Palettes

A. E. England Gallery is pleased to present the work of Tempe artist, Jeff Davis, in its May show, “Rectangle Studies & Color Palettes.”Davis works in Adobe Illustrator and Photoshop to create digital c-prints that are arresting in their simplicity. This exhibition presents his recent rectangle study and color palette series, both propelled by a desire to reduce compositions and ideas to an uncomplicated aesthetic conclusion. The concepts behind his artwork stem from his undergraduate studies in mathematics and studio art at Lawrence University.

The Artlink A. E. England Gallery is located at 424 N. Central Ave, Phoenix, AZ 85004, Civic Space Park, in the A. E. England Building.
