Seiko Tachibana

Available Works

Davidson Galleries is honored to present the original prints and other works on paper by Japanese artist Seiko Tachibana. The artist employs western printmaking techniques such as etching, aquatint, and spit bite to create images that are recognizably Japanese in their restrained and elegant aesthetic and their minimal design sensibility. She draws from the world around her but distills and refines this information. Her marks express that essence found within. It is like looking at a Japanese garden in the fog, forms shift, appear indistinct and partially revealed, allowing the viewer's mind to imagine what is not obvious.

Born in Osaka, Japan in 1964, Tachibana moved to the Bay Area and has been living there for more than ten years. She has had numerous exhibitions in the U.S. and in Japan. She is the recipient of several awards in printmaking. Her prints are in many public and corporate collections including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Achenbach Foundation for Graphic Arts at the California Palace of the Legion of Honor.
