"Faces such as Beyoncé and Donna Summer are shown side-by-side with the death-stare of Myra Hindley and the confused vacant expression on the mug-shot of Jon Venables (amongst others).
Challenging, disquieting and immediately complex, the brief was elegantly nailed down with Youdan’s assertion that in the media ‘Hindley was as much a ‘blonde bombshell’ as Marilyn Monroe’."
Great review/interview here. Do come down and see the show for yourself. Open this weekend 12-4, The Gal...lery, 41 Stanhope St, Liverpool L8 5RE.

My 'Glamour' exhibition is open 12-4 every day except Monday until January 14th.
"Resonate(s) with anyone who uses surface glamour to hide the day-to-day reality of rejection or cruelty. The reason it’s not preachy is because this construction puts faith in the audience to be smart enough to look for themselves, maybe even know beforehand what they’re going to find. Juxtaposing the shiny and the terrible may not be new, but Youdan does it expertly... Glamour is a show which pleases on every level. It brings the bitter with the sweet without judgement, in a manner which is fun and approachable." - Messy Lines
At The Gallery, 41 Stanhope St, Liverpool L8 5RE (2 mins walk from The Baltic Market/Cains)
Let them eat... mince pies?
Come down to The Gallery today. It is more glamorous than Cannes, more colourful than Nicki Minaj’s wig box and more deviant than the House of Lords Christmas party! We might even give you a mince pie and a cuppa!
41 Stanhope St L8 5RE, by Cains Brewery/Baltic Market. Open 12 - 5 pm
