Landon Metz
Landon Metz is an American artist known for his calm, meditative approach to painting. His work is quiet but powerful—built around soft shapes, repeating patterns, and flowing color washes that seem to breathe on the canvas. At first glance, everything looks simple. But the more time you spend with it, the more you notice the precision, the rhythm, and the depth hiding just below the surface.
Metz often works with dye on raw canvas, letting the pigment soak into the material and create organic forms that feel both controlled and accidental. There’s a strong sense of balance in everything he does—between shape and space, stillness and movement. It’s minimal, but not cold. His works have a warmth and openness that invites you to slow down and look a little longer.
He’s shown his work around the world, including exhibitions at von Bartha in Basel, Museo Pietro Canonica in Rome, and Almine Rech in Paris. His pieces have also been part of group shows at institutions like Kunsthalle Zürich and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Tucson.
Over the years, Metz has built a practice that feels totally his own—calm, focused, and deeply connected to materials and place.
In a time where louder often gets noticed first, Landon Metz’s work reminds us how much power there can be in restraint, patience, and presence.
