Exhibition: Fabrice Monteiro - The 8 Mile Wall

From 09/09/2022 to 08/11/2022 - Press visit : 09/09/2022

didier Claes is marking its artistic return on the occasion of Brussels Gallery Weekend by staging a solo show of the work of the celebrated Belgian/Beninese artist Fabrice Monteiro. Having started out in fashion, Monteiro decided to move behind the lens and retrace his origins through photography. In each of his series, he uses the portrait – his favoured form of expression – to raise a major issue besetting Africa and tackles it through the prism of identity. His latest work is The 8 Mile Wall, which explores the stereotypes constructed during the era of slavery and colonial rule.
