Vera Molnar / Fluctuation

Vera Molnar realizes for the Gallery 8+4 an exceptional carpet « Fluctuation » in hand-made tufted black and white wool yarns, based on an 1960’s original composition. Using the possibilities offered by the interplay of materials and tufting techniques to give her composition an original vibration, the artist delivers here, without a doubt, one of her most amazing recent creations.

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.
