Vallois Gallery

Initially dedicated to modern and contemporary sculpture, the gallery has gradually broadened its scope to include other media. Today, it accompanies artists from a wide range of practices - painting, photography, sculpture - from international art scenes. This openness reflects a constant desire to explore a diversity of forms and sensibilities, while maintaining a high curatorial standard.

Ceramics occupy a central place in the gallery's programming. The gallery promotes a number of artists for whom this medium is a privileged field of experimentation. These include Tania Antoshina (Russia), Philippe Brodzki (Belgium), Mark Brusse (Netherlands), Paloma Chang (Taiwan), Euloge Glèlè (Benin), Lee Hoffman (USA), King Houndekpinkou (France/Benin), Yuri Kuper (Russia)...

The focus on ceramics is a natural part of the gallery's history, the medium having already played a major role in the Art Deco period. However, this continuity is as much a matter of historical logic as of a genuine personal attachment, shared by Robert and Cheska Vallois and their gallery directors, to the expressive richness and ever-renewed modernity of ceramics.
