▋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.
