Valentin Carron, born in Martigny in 1977, lives and works in Fully. In recent years he has emerged with an oeuvre that combines central traditions of contemporary art making and questions them in terms of their current meaning. In this way he includes approaches to appropriation in his work as well as Pop Art traditions, the sociological search for clues and post-studio production. Valentin Carron is continuing the tradition of artists who, by means of appropriation and reproduction, offer a cultural analysis in their works.
