Hans in Transition: Paintings by Hans Scheirl

“No, it is not just the name ‘Tansition Gallery’ that made me change my mind about what i want to do in my first solo show here. But yes, the name triggered something. The term ‘transition’ is used in the transsexual and transgender community for the stretch of time it takes a person to change into the other gender. Now, i’m not going from A to B, but rather zigzagging my way through a large, open space of possibilities,” comments Hans Scheirl. Transition was founded in October 2002 in a former garage near Victoria Park, Hackney.
