Davidson Galleries is pleased to present Divergent Perceptions, opening Thursday December 5th at our new location. This exhibition features selected works from Modern and Antique artists, Aristide Maillol and Francisco Goya. 

Rodriguez’s graphic depictions of difficult-to-swallow topics feel tangible. The bold lines of the background draw attention to the small figures above the scene. One figure is shouting from a helicopter and pointing a gun, while the other also shouts and gestures frantically from a high-rise building. Both frame the central two figures who bare horns and tails to mark them as evil. Interestingly, the largest figure, assumed to be the artist dressed as a businessman, is hunched over with his hand in his pocket, tired. Even his pointed ears and large wings droop. The artist reminds us there’s no peace for those who choose evil from their positions of power.

The October exhibition at Davidson Galleries features selected works from Modern artist, Albert de Belleroche, including newly added lithographs. Join us at our new location to view Albert de Belleroche: Drawn to Beauty.  

'...As summer winds down, I am reminded of all the house chores I’ve left piled up, including washing the duvet. I love Langford’s humor around this chore. I sympathize laughingly with the person in the etching struggling in each scene to make the duvet fit inside the cover. This piece gives me a welcome lighthearted feeling as I look forward to the fall season...'

Davidson Galleries is pleased to present the inaugural exhibition of our new location, Welcome Home, featuring works by Pacific Northwest artists Marit Berg, Virginia Hungate-Hawk, and Stephen McMillan as well as selections from our Modern and Antique collections.

'...heat and frenetic energy of summertime always spark a desire in me to escape to scenic and remote areas, where shady forests and bodies of water are plentiful. Viewing Eva Pietzcker's moku hanga woodcut 'Cape Flattery' transports ...'

'...Arnoldi was able to freely enjoy the printing process with abandon and utilize the knowledge of the master printers who create consistent, beautiful impressions. It involved a unique way of printing, using the separate, cut blocks with overlaid inks in different viscosities, so that the blocks could be printed together simultaneously...'

Davidson Galleries is pleased to share new additions of linocut prints from contemporary Mexican artist, Artemio Rodríguez from 2000 to 2010. These works range between highly political, confrontational messages like My Blood Is Your Oil and contemplative, meditative scenes like Cuando Lees Pasan Muchas Cosas (When You Read Many Things Happen). Rodríguez constructs captivating stories that we can absorb instantly or for hours on end.

'...delightfully charming. It’s as though I am looking through a window I wiped condensation off of to better see the snowfall outside. A pet dog is even reflected in one of the streaking, water droplets. The winter scene feels comforting and cozy, complete with a tiny bird flying around the dormant trees in the snow...'
