Noah Davis began painting in his early teenage years and had established his own studio by the age of 17.
He studied painting at the Cooper Union School of Art in New York City from 2001 to 2004 but did not graduate.
In 2004, he moved to Los Angeles and began working at the bookstore at MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art).

Davis became known for his melancholic portrayals of blurred black figures against barren or shadowy landscapes. These paintings often possessed a dreamlike quality, teetering between reality and unreality.
He created approximately four hundred paintings, collages, and sculptures throughout his career.
His work blended figurative and abstract elements, realism and dreamlike imagery, exploring themes of blackness and the history of Western painting. He drew inspiration from photographs and real life.
Influences: Davis was influenced by European painters Marlene Dumas and Luc Tuymans, as well as American artists Mark Rothko and Fairfield Porter.
His compositions were advanced, rendering three-dimensional space while maintaining a flatness characteristic of modernist approaches.

In 2012, Davis co-founded the Underground Museum in Arlington Heights, Los Angeles, with his wife, Karon Davis (a sculptor).
The museum's mission was to bring "museum-quality art within walking distance" to a historically working-class African-American and Latino community that lacked access.
It operates as an artist-run, experimental exhibition space comprised of interconnected storefronts.
Davis envisioned the Underground Museum as a way to sidestep the traditional gallery system and directly engage with the local community.

Notable works include paintings such as "Over the Hills and Far Away," which exemplify his unique style and technique.
His artistic approach involved a compelling collision of black aesthetics and modernist sensibilities, distinguishing him within the contemporary art landscape.
Davis's legacy continues through his artwork and the ongoing operation of the Underground Museum, which remains dedicated to promoting innovative and thought-provoking art.
He died at his home in Ojai, California, due to complications from a rare form of soft tissue cancer.

Noah Davis's work is increasingly recognized for its contribution to contemporary painting, particularly within the context of Black artistic expression and explorations of identity.
His founding of the Underground Museum demonstrated a commitment to democratizing access to art and fostering community engagement.
Davis’s ability to synthesize diverse influences—from European masters to American modernists—created a distinctive visual language that continues to resonate with audiences and inspire artists.
