Sandrine Vallée

As we are working on clays the studio art class right now, I googled surreal sculptures with clay and found outstanding works Sandrine Vallée. He is a French plastic artist who makes drawings, sculptures, and paintings. The subject that he works on dictates his choice of the artistic technique. He utilizes different materials and forms of artistic expressions to give substance to the ideas.

He began with modeling the clay. His earlier sculptures are mostly figurative, and mostly female characters. As the time goes on, he started to simplify the shapes, and focus on the movements, and the curves. His sculptures was no longer detailed by express the dynamics within his work. After all, he started to work on surreal projects.

The simplicity and the dynamics of the works have attracted and fascinated me. His work reaches a point that is between complex and simple. He utilizes different materials to create new sculptures and projects.

After I researched on Sandrine Vallée, I started to consider about to use different materials to be my medium of my projects. Perhaps, I can focused more on the motion and the rhythm of the work instead of the details.
