Valentin Ranger French, b. 1992

Valentin Ranger was born in 1992 in Paris. After studying theater, he graduated with a double MFA from the Royal College of Art in London and the Beaux-Arts de Paris, with honors from the jury. Through his drawings, paintings, 3D films, and sculptural installations, Ranger unfolds a dreamlike world in constant mutation, mirroring the human body, which is his main subject of study. In richly detailed settings or virtual rooms traversed in 360°, the artist stages hybrid characters and cellular forms pulsating with the rhythm of an indeterminate organism. Across different mediums, he writes the saga of a community where marginalized or invisible populations—sexual and gender minorities—come together to forge new forms of solidarity.
