Daniel Davidson and Josh Rickards : Bad Dreams Starring Good Friends

Daniel Davidson and Josh Rickards
Bad Dreams Starring Good Friends

December 2009

Bad Dreams Starring Good Friends brings together two amazing artists for one great show. Daniel Davidson is out of New York City and Josh Rickards works out of Philadelphia.

Daniel Davidson’s work is a fusion of hybrid characters, spaces and styles. Focusing on the urges and consequences of actions on a personal and social level, his work for the past few years has been about over-consumption. Often employing the comic or the grotesque, it is a reflection of societal overload, of the complexities of modern life, and the excesses and addictions that surround us.

Josh Rickards grew up on an Island in SW Florida where his Dad was the local preacher and where people believed there was a yeti that lived in the everglades. He makes some work based on druid robes, southern rock, blue-collar patterns and Sly Stone. It’s all stuff to nerd out about. Josh is a member of both Team Lump and Vox Populi in Philadelphia.

Lump is located at 505 S. Blount St, Raleigh, NC. More information about our mission and exhibition programs can be found at lumpprojects.org.
