Vera Molnar / 100 lignes brisées

The artist realizes for the Gallery 8+4 an exceptional set of tapestries in woven wool, her first ones, for which she specifically imagined a series of drawings with moving lines. Using the possibilities offered by the interplay of materials and weaving techniques to give her compositions an original vibration, the artist delivers here, without a doubt, one of her most important creations of the last few years.

Geometric abstract painter since 1948, Vera Molnar (born in 1924) is one of the great figures of conceptual art in France and the pioneer of computer-assisted art. Her artistic practice is inspired by the work of Mondrian, Malevitch or the Zurich concretes, and finds many correspondences in the work carried out with the exact sciences and mathematics in particular. Thus, she introduces into the minimal rigor of her works a certain amount of randomness, a "suspicion of disorder", imperceptibly disturbing her formal constructions.
