Shirazeh Houshiary: As Time Stood Still

Lisson Gallery is pleased to present Shirazeh Houshiary’s first exhibition in Shanghai, encompassing a series of new works created and inspired by the artist’s experience of lockdown in the UK. ‘As Time Stood Still’ is a deeply personal, philosophical exhibition, exploring profound questions about perception and imagination, as well as the fundamental power of beauty; as the artist describes, “As time stood still through the lockdown and with death all around, it is beauty that strikes a chord with most of us. Beauty in nature, the movement of the trees as the breeze ruffles its leaves. Beauty is the awareness of life and our ephemeral existence.”
