The School House Gallery: Han Feng On View Through September 1, 2021

Stories abound of artists hunkering down in their studios during the pandemic, creating uninterrupted, as they did when art wasn’t a business — before they knew about galleries, commissions, or patrons. New York- and Shanghai-based fashion designer Han Feng lives a particularly busy life, and quarantine gave her the time to do something she’s never done before: make a series of photographs.


“I know it’s very weird, as a lot of people I know had a hard time,” she says. “But I called this series of photographs The Gift because I saw it as a gift to spend time with myself.” Her collection of 20 limited edition pigment prints, plus two larger pieces, will be on exhibit at Schoolhouse Gallery from Friday, Aug. 13 through Sept. 1.
