The Woman Herself: Leonhard Hurzlmeier's abstract portraits highlight the current discussion on women and identity. Provocative, ambiguous, sometimes erotically charged, sometimes critical and distant, and always humorous, the portraits unfold a panorama of current debates about gender identities.

The abstract portraits of German painter Leonhard Hurzlmeier (born 1983) depict women in everyday activities and tasks, informed by contemporary feminist discourse and drawing on the formal vocabulary of modernists such as Schlemmer and Jawlensky.
