▋Artist Info
Val (1967-2016, France)
Val lived her youth and adolescence shuttling between South
America, Africa, Europe and France where she was born. Being member
of the human community is essential for this 49-year-old artist more
than the precedence over any specific nationality.
Val first made a name for herself in April 2004, at a joint
exhibition in Bangkok. Since then, her works have been on permanent
display in Bangkok, then Hong Kong in 2006. Singapore and France
followed in 2008 and then China and Taiwan in 2009. After several
solo exhibitions in these countries in 2010 together with her
noticed participation at the Shanghai Art Fair 2010 and at the
Jing’An International Sculpture Project with the presentation of
Urban Life monumental piece of art, Val has now become a renowned
sculptor in Asia and in Europe as well.
Over the past three years,
she been commissioned to perform many monumental projects for public
and private places, such as Central Academy of Fine Arts, Inle balance III and Urban gathering at
the hotel Sofitel Bangkok, an enlargement of Theatre of joy for a
prestigious real estate project in Java, Theatre of life for the
University of Shangtao in China and a collection of bronzes for the
Arch & Art museum in Taichung. In 2016 she also installed three
sculptures made of concrete, bronze and coral in an underwater site
in Koh Tao island in Thailand, the first artistic and ecological
project of its kind. In the same year, a 36-meter-long landscape art
work (From Chaos to Wisdom) overlooking Taichung City on Bagua
Mountain in Taiwan and is collected by an important private
collector.
The proximity with the foundry in Thailand has proved to be the
fertile soil that has nourished her new-found freedom. To work on
her sculptures that are more and more monumental and meet her
international success, Val has designed her new sculpture studio in
Bangkok, surrounded by her own team to assist her in her
achievements. This rebirth of enthusiasm has enabled to find
fulfillment in total peace and serenity. Here, everything seems to
be predestined. She only needs to follow the guidance of life and
listen to the call of her heart until time stops.
