Unbecoming N.4

from $450.00

11 x 14 | Unframed

A study of a moustache, because sometimes the painting simply needs a moustache. Weird, delicious, and anchored by an impeccable gaze, this small work captures the playful irreverence at the heart of UNBECOMING.

UNBECOMING PART 1 marks a new direction in Amélie Vallières’ practice: the culmination of more than six months of research, experimentation, and a growing desire to move beyond the traditional portrait. These works explore the messy, tender, chaotic process of becoming ourselves: the identities we inherit, the ones we outgrow, and the ones we are still learning to inhabit. Part 1 lays the foundation for the larger UNBECOMING collection, with Part 2 to be unveiled in spring 2027.
