In her first solo exhibition with the gallery Hauser & Wirth in Switzerland, US artist Lorna Simpson presents new work from her ongoing series Special Character. Lorna Simpson's Special Character is a series that superimposes women's faces from fashion and wig ads found in the pages of Ebony magazine, “revealing through repetition the reinforcement of stereotypes in the everyday imagery we consume. In these works, silkscreened images of isolated figures emerge from layered washes of paint, highlighting Simpson’s continual investigation of the relationship between parts and wholes, and the nature of representation, identity, gender and race.” Lorna Simpson's solo exhibition at Hauser & Wirth Limmatstrasse runs until December 22, 2023.
