Since 2003, Damien Valero has experimented with the digital image. First taking digital photos of details of the body and then adding a touch of blurredness to the sharp version of these figurations. He prints on various surfaces: Plexiglas, steel or wood. This figuration is taken in hot wax on which he affixes other materials, engraving varnishes or resin.
He is currently preparing an exhibition at the contemporary art center in Lorient where his work will be shown from October 12 to January 2008.
