Valerie Belin @ Huxley Parlour Gallery

Valérie Belin’s photographs focus on the depictions of the female form. The exhibition showcases fifteen large-scale works created between 2001 and 2017, many of which will be on display in the UK for the first time.
Exploring issues of identity, surface and artificiality, Belin’s work often returns to the depiction of the human form at transformative moments. She has photographed bodybuilders and brides, as well as trans women at the very beginning of their journey into becoming female. Works on display in this exhibition were taken from her series “Transsexuals” (2001), “Mannequins” (2003), “Brides” (2012), “Super Models” (2015), “All Star” (2016), and her latest work “Painted Ladies” (2017).
