Axel Vervoordt Gallery is pleased to present the first solo exhibition in Asia of American artist Ann Leda Shapiro at its Hong Kong space. Body is Landscape brings together a historical work from 1980 alongside a series of recent paintings highlighting the central concerns of Shapiro’s practice: advocacy, care and the interplay between personal experience and the wider world.

Shapiro emerged as an artist during the feminist art movement of the 1960s and 1970s, a period when her work engaged directly with questions of gender, social justice and the visibility of women in society. Her early practice combined sharp social awareness with a commitment to care, laying the foundation for a lifelong exploration of how art can respond to and reflect upon the broader human condition.

Opening reception: 8 November, 2 - 5 pm. The artist will be in attendance

Gallery address: 21/F, Coda Designer Centre, Wong Chuk Hang
