VALOTA

Valota is a French artist with Italian origins. He works in his studios in Montreuil-sous-Bois (just outside Paris) and in Normandy.
He works with wax, a unique medium that he masters with fire and fusion. A recent monograph "WAX" published by Editions du Regard, Paris, retraces his singular work.
In 2014, Valota was at La FIAC in Paris showing paintings in wax and pigments from his latest series "Bloom & Vanity" and "Arborescence". He has showed his work in galleries in Paris, London, and Istanbul, notably alongside Andy Warhol (Fondation Absolut Vodka), Bernar Venet, Bustamente and Frank Stella (Riff Art Projects, Istanbul), Cruz Diez, Vasarely (Lavignes Bastille, Paris)...
