The Little Black Gallery presents Tyler Udall‘s Boys through June 20th, 2015.
Based in London in the early 2000’s, Udall was Senior Fashion Editor at Dazed & Confused, Another, and Another Man and was involved in creating iconic covers of Kate Moss, Kirsten Dunst, Tilda Swinton and Nathalie Portman. He returned to New York as Creative Director for the agency Fred and Associates, where he teamed up legendary fashion greats with world leading artists. Udall is currently based in Vancouver as Fashion Director at the Blanche Macdonald Centre – Canada’s top fashion school.
Udall said: “
Boys is a segment of a larger project Auguries of Innocence, which started just over four years ago, the first time I picked up a camera. I was going through a hard time and felt that a pretty major transition was on the horizon. I wanted to document those special moments, places and people (many of them boys) as best as I could, in the hope that I could understand things better down the road.
One of the aspects I enjoy most about this show is the very delicate line between innocence and corruption that each one of these men seems to be straddling. I find the topic of gender classification quite fascinating (especially given the current climate of things) and genuinely feel we are at a tipping point where we will no longer feel the need to put people into labeled boxes: boy, girl, man, woman, trans, gay, straight, bi… curious?? The title Boys, I must admit, is a little tongue in cheek…”
