The Little Black Gallery is set to unveil a captivating new chapter in the world of fine art photography with "Becoming," the debut London exhibition of the acclaimed artist Margaret Lansink. This exclusive showcase will be hosted at the illustrious Rebecca Hossack Art Gallery in the heart of Fitzrovia, from October 1 to 12, 2024.
"A movement of becoming, eternal becoming."
— Simone de Beauvoir
Set against the sophisticated backdrop of 2a Conway Street, London W1T 6BA, The Rebecca Hossack Art Gallery will transform into an intimate space for Lansink’s extraordinary debut. Known for her distinctive aesthetic that fuses poetic minimalism with powerful emotional resonance, Lansink’s work presents an exquisite exploration of the self. Her photographs, which she terms 'self-portraits' in the broadest sense, are a profound reflection of her inner experiences and sentiments captured in specific moments and spaces.
Lansink’s artistic approach is both innovative and deeply personal. She employs a diverse array of analogue techniques and experiments, creating stunning visuals with elements like paint, gold leaf, and charcoal. Additionally, her use of traditional darkroom processes—such as liquid light and platinum palladium printing—ensures that each piece is not only a work of art but a unique and immersive experience.
Educated at the esteemed PhotoAcademy in Amsterdam, Le Masterklass in Paris, and Atelier Smedsby, Lansink’s career is adorned with prestigious accolades including the Grand Prize of the Hariban Award in 2019 and a shortlist for the Gomma Grant in 2018. Her portfolio is further distinguished by eight published books, four of which she meticulously handmade.
"Becoming" promises to be more than an exhibition; it’s a curated journey through Lansink’s intricate exploration of self and emotion. This showcase is a rare opportunity to experience the delicate interplay of technique and feeling that defines her work, set in one of London’s most refined art spaces.
Join us at The Rebecca Hossack Art Gallery this October to immerse yourself in the sublime artistry of Margaret Lansink and witness the unveiling of "Becoming," a truly exclusive event for connoisseurs of fine art and luxury.
