London - Designer J.W. Anderson is to showcase his first major art exhibition at the Hepworth in Wakefield, exploring the human form in art, fashion and design.

Titled Disobedient Bodies, Anderson's personal selection of sculptures will be on display, alongside notable fashion pieces and objects of craft and design, investigating the way the human form has been reconceived by artists and designers across the 20th and 21st centuries.

The selection is shaped by Anderson’s long-standing passion for modern art (from the mid-20th century) and the underlying questions of gender that have been posed by his own fashion collections at J.W.Anderson.

Anderson will collaborate with Tom Emerson and Stephanie Macdonald of 6a architects to present the exhibition, which will unfold across the galleries, offering a series of contrasting experiences for you to explore.

J.W.Anderson's shows are one of London Fashion Week's highlights as Anderson's collection continue to question modern interpretations of masculinity and femininity. In 2013 investment by LVMH Moet Hennessy saw Anderson's star continue to rise as a new generation brand. In the same year Jonathan was appointed Creative Director of Loewe and works on both brands in tandem.

J.W.Anderson, Disobedient Bodies will exhibit at The Hepworth, Wakefield from 18 March.
