'The Valley' is a portrait of a boy that indirectly illustrates the power relations and restrictive moral codes of the early 1950s. The intimate portrait is based on a still from the film 'The Village of the Damned', metamorphosed by Tuymans as 'The Valley (of the Doomed)'. The work is charged with the characteristic Tuymans tension: the boy is prematurely aged and tormented. He averts his eyes: his gaze, haircut and clothes all bear witness to training and discipline (link).
