Elizabeth Malaska on the Animal and Human Figures that Characterize Her Artwork

Elizabeth Malaska's large-scale paintings explore womanhood in both human and animal forms, confronting historical perceptions of femininity, power, domination, sexualization, and vulnerability, and updating them for our modern times. In this video, the Portland-based artist discusses the presence of these themes in artworks such as "No Place in this Garden" and Mother," on view in her "All Be Your Mirror" at SAM.
Elizabeth Malaska is the winner of the 2022 Betty Bowen Award, the Seattle Art Museum's annual award honoring a Northwest artist for their original, exceptional, and compelling artwork. Her debut solo SAM exhibition "Elizabeth Malaska: All Be Your Mirror" closes next Sunday, June 16.
