For Richard Deacon’s first exhibition at Lisson Gallery Shanghai, the influential British sculptor will present a series of new works, demonstrating his mastery of sculpture and drive to extend the possibilities of his chosen materials. Deacon’s complex composite forms, presented here through two new bodies of work, are driven by the material itself and embodying the movement and agency of the hand that created it. With their origins in model making, these works are refined by a production process that becomes integral to their ultimate meaning. The exhibition follows Deacon's previous presentations in China at TAG Art (2021) and Wuzhen International Contemporary Art Exhibition (2016), among others.
