' Stephan Vanfleteren’s powerful black and white photographs provide an intimate and emotional portrait of these legendary sportsmen and the sport which dominates the social and cultural life of Flanders, the Dutch-speaking part of Belgium. The unremarkable landscape breeds this particular type of rider who thrives in the driving rain and the bitter cold and on cobbled streets and treacherous inclines.
Stephan Vanfleteren, represented by the Panos Pictures agency, has been photographing the Flandrien for more than 15 years.'
A truly inspiring exhibition.
