Alain Valtat (1943) by Frédéric Chappey, Conservateur and Maître de conférences en Histoire de l’Art
“...Valtat doesn’t teach sculpture, he does it... it’s one of the few in France to be just this... Valtat’s work thus lies in a complex set of formal, numerous and scholarly oppositions, between the weight of the material and the lightness of the balance of forms in space ... Alain Valtat is not an isolated artist. Beyond the reminiscences with Russian constructivists of the 20s, his art is connected to the evidence to a whole current of contemporary Anglo-Saxon sculpture born in the early 1960s, to which sculptors belong today as well represented in the modern art museums of the world as David Smith, Anthony Caro, John Chamberlain, Robert Morris, Herbert Ferber or Mark di Suvero, to mention not more He is one of the only contemporary abstract sculptors to dare to play the concepts of variety and diversity...".
