À propos
de Sarthe Gallery will have an exhibition of Bernar Venet paintings done between 1967 and 2010. A series of paintings which depict mathematical and scientific formula and figures, embodying a dynamic, innovative artistic process, searching for a new pictorial language, a new aesthetic.
Bernar Venet suggests a new artistic aesthetic of mathematical purity, one which reflect the richness of content, purity, austerity and direct simplicity. He says, "The application of mathematics to a formal level has never concerned my work; thus, I considered that another stage could be tackled by proposing to develop the purely linguistic aspect of mathematics."
