Paul & Trisha: The Art of Fluidity

Paul and Trisha: The Art of Fluidity dives into the colorful life of well-known gender-fluid British artist Paul Whitehead and his alter ego Trisha Van Cleef as they navigate their gender and artistic fluidity as two artists in one body.

During the 60s and 70s at the height of “Sex Love and Rock n’ Roll,” Whitehead began exploring his gender fluidity, periodically wearing items of women’s clothing. However, not until his marriage at age 35 that his other half, Trisha Van Cleef, emerged. What earlier began in the privacy of their bedroom between Paul and his wife soon gave way to another identity – presenting to the world as a woman. Ultimately, the marriage came to an end but marked the beginnings of a completely different artistic expression and self-permission to live harmoniously as both genders.

Through captivating storytelling, Paul & Trisha: The Art of Fluidity celebrates the journey of two artists in one body who defy conventions and embrace their true selves without apology. Whether grappling with societal norms or artistic expression, Paul and Trisha’s story is a testament to the power of authenticity and creative freedom in a world that often seeks conformity.
