Shocking Works with Extraordinary Expression



As partners in both work and life for 25 years, the photography duo Inez & Vinoodh have been active since the early 90s, producing numerous works across art, fashion, and pop culture in genres such as nudes, portraits, and still lifes. Their work is regularly featured in fashion magazines like Vogue and i-D, and they also create visuals for luxury brands, remaining highly active in the fashion industry today.

This exhibition brings together portraits and floral works. Notable pieces include portraits of Lady Gaga's self-proclaimed male alter ego, "Joe Calderone," and the back view of actress Drew Barrymore, offering glimpses into unseen facets of celebrities. A unique world is created through a fusion of the uncanny and elegance.

Additionally, floral still lifes, representing a new style for Inez & Vinoodh, are being exhibited for the first time. These works, featuring flowers against a stark white background, possess an almost animate quality. They are so evocative they might be described as "portraits of flowers."

This is a rare opportunity to fully appreciate the charm and body of work by Inez & Vinoodh.
