Michèle Landsaat | The Alchemy of Love

Davidson Galleries is pleased to present The Alchemy of Love, a solo exhibition of Seattle-based artist Michèle Landsaat. This exhibition features a new body of work including the drypoint series, The Alchemy of Love, as well as papier-mâché sculptures and other new drypoints. Landsaat is known for her impressively delicate and fragile etchings that expose the simultaneous vulnerability and whimsicality of the world and its creatures. She is interested in the alchemical and slow process of creating illustrations which mirrors her scrupulous approach to storytelling. Landsaat’s new work addresses issues such as the “transformative potential of loss”, the rabbit holes of grief, and a new definition for true love. With the continued use of her signature creatures, new characters, settings, techniques, and tones emerge in service of these impassioned stories.
