Katherine Hattam & Ruth O’Leary

LON Gallery is thrilled to present a two-person exhibition of works by Katherine Hattam and Ruth O’Leary, on view 16 October – 9 November.

These intergenerational practices, grounded by feminist ideals and the experience of motherhood, are united through a series of new, historical, and timely contemporary works. Playful, sincere, and often direct, Hattam and O’Leary unfold the complexities of parentage, art making, and career by reflecting society with perceptive commentary and beguiling, though completely relatable, narratives.
