The brutal age: teenagers in Willy Vanderperre’s photos

Belgian Willy Vanderperre’s images is predicated on the paradoxical and interesting interweaving between a harsh, nearly punishing aesthetic and a way of extra and extravagance. The echo of a strict spiritual training and a robust reference to historic Flemish artwork develop into a stark essence in his work. Nonetheless, this rigor is damaged by the dramatic and rebellious power that youth tradition brings to the shoot, which is at all times on the middle of the photographer’s analysis.
