Davida Allen is known for her strongly gestural painting style that uses heavy brushstrokes and a bold colour palette to explore life as an artist, mother, wife and grandmother; domestic life; family and the human condition. Her works often portray the tension between creative energy and domestic responsibilities.

Her series 'Death of my father', features paint that is loose and aggressively applied, metaphorically echoing the outpouring of emotion, with a raw physicality. The works convey a sense of loss, while addressing the ambivalence experienced when trying to come to terms with death. 'Davida Allen: Death of My Father - A Sketchbook' features 32 plates of drawings and paintings from this series.
