Pace is pleased to present an exhibition of new and recent work by sculptor Arlene Shechet at its Hong Kong gallery fromMay 20 to June 30. Titled Moon in the Morning, the show marks Shechet's first solo exhibition in Hong Kong.

The presentation will feature nine sculptures, including both large- and small-scale works. The show will coincide with Art Basel HongKong, where Pace will present two new works by Shechet. The exhibition's title, Moon in the Morning, reflects Shechet's longstanding interest in unions of seemingly disparate, incongruous materials and forms. Beautiful and disorienting, a moon in the morning can be understood in the context of the visual paradoxes and contradictions Shechet explores in her sculptures.

Shechet's methodology for creating idiosyncratic, biomorphic, boldly coloured sculptures is both highly technical and entirely intuitive—she does not employ drawings or armatures as part of her process. Guided by a general impulse, the artist engages in a spirited back and forth with her works, embracing improvisation and chance as she brings a sculpture into being. Shechet's ceramic works are marked by complex finishes, which the artist creates by layering glazes over the course of several firings.
