Robert Davies is a multi-faceted artist who appropriates whatever medium to his mind best suits his subject matter, be it the passage of time, animals bred for food production, football or climate change.

In recent years he has made life-sized drawings of race horses and farm animals, films about 17th century Dutch vanitas painting and the railway line between Birmingham and Aberystwyth and large photographs of the night sky. He is currently working on a site-specific artwork about sea level rise involving the installation of the cast of an actual Ceredigion oak tree on the beach, between low and high tide, on the west coast of Wales. He received planning permission in 2018.
