Valérie Blass
As an unrivaled experimenter in the most unlikely sculptural techniques and materials, a virtuoso of illusion and deceptive appearances, mimicry and metamorphosis are at the heart of Valérie Blass’s sculptural work. Her obsession with the potential friction and hybridization between the figure and geometry, between human, animal, and inanimate forms, between the self and its double, or between image and volume, have generated paradoxical works in which the visible and the invisible can be endlessly intertwined.
Exhibition produced in partnership with Fonderie Darling.
