Join us for the opening reception of 'Self with Dragon', Maria Lassnig’s first solo exhibition in Hong Kong.

The oeuvre of the seminal painter Maria Lassnig (1919 – 2014) covers more than 70 years of intense work between the end of the Second World War and her death in 2014. At the center of her profound research into painting is a unique interest in the relation between awareness and the human body—particularly the artist’s body—which Lassnig termed ‘body awareness.’ Presenting a selection of paintings and works on paper from 1987 to 2008, the show provides an insight into Lassnig’s approach, how she questions perception beyond the visual, how our body senses as a whole and the ways in which language becomes part of such perceptions.
