Alliance Française de Singapour and REDSEA Gallery present Val, A Legacy, bringing to life the enchanting bronze and glass forms of late artist Valérie Goutard, as part of the French Excellence programme.
For an established artist, it’s one thing to be recognised by one’s full name, and another to be well-known simply by a nickname, a shortened form usually reserved for family or lovers.
She took this constant displacement in her stride, her love of being a foreigner reflected in the way her magnetic bronze works draw in its viewers like bees to honey, a mirror of the humanity that it was made with and is currently reflecting — piercing yet sensitive, foreign yet familiar, her lanky figurines inspiring curiosity in perspective and emotion.
A particularly notable mention that showcases her love of the environment and making her art a part of it is “Ocean Utopia”, a collection of bronze and marine concrete structures fixed on the seabed of Koh Tao in Thailand. What was once barren and filled with what Val describes as “ugly” structures is now brimming with life, the flourishing of corals, anemones, shellfish, and other sea creatures transforming the space into a sanctuary.
