Between January and April 2023 Vera Molnár created a body of 100 drawings on the theme of the cross and its possible variations. This exceptional collection of computer-modelled drawings was published in plates and then assembled in a high-quality canvas box. This work of investigating a motif, carried out daily by the artist, was carried out like a 'programme' based on the simple intersection of two lines, offering all possible variations. There are lines, but also grids, screens, simple strokes and flat areas, all of which intermingle and intersect in an exceptional profusion... A text by Vera Molnár accompanies this limited edition of 35 copies
"I don't know if I can explain this crossing, but it's magical! Because it ceases to be horizontal or vertical, it ceases to be a line segment: it's a cross! We're not talking about a religious context here, that's something else. All I'm talking about here is the form, the marvel that is a cross. [Extract - Vera Molnár - 2 May 2023]
