Ashley Hans Scheirl: L’or dans l’œil

Ashley Hans Scheirl is one of Austria’s leading artists and one of the most important pioneers of the international queer and transgender scene. Scheirl made a name for herself with her experimental films in the 1980s and early early 1990s. In the mid-1990s, she turned increasingly to painting, crossing the painting, media and genre boundaries in direct correspondence with her own in direct correspondence with her own experiences of her body and identity.
