Abstracted Ideals

Abstracted Ideals
Valérie Belin is interested in the distinction between artificiality and reality, questioning the construction of ideals. By abstracting the human form, the artist examines notions of gender and mainstream beauty. A recent series, Painted Ladies, is on display at Edwynn Houk Gallery, New York.
