Vera Molnar

Vera Molnar is an artist of Hungarian origin, born in Budapest in 1924. She lives in Paris, where she continues her artistic career. She is considered a precursor of digital and algorithmic art.

Imbued with a pictorial heritage characteristic of Eastern Europe, she moved to Paris in 1947 to develop a highly committed, experimental body of work.
An artist who makes a habit of using geometry and mathematical rules in her work.

- Rond sur cercles" plates: 6 plates + 1 platter
Once again, Vera Molnar uses the medium of ceramics to create a set that once again demonstrates her ability to play with the ordering of geometric figures and precisely orchestrated disorder.

On six white porcelain plates, a series of 29 concentric circles are lined up in fine black lines. One of them, the fifteenth, will undergo an increasingly random shift. On the first plate, a slight shift is barely perceptible, then, from plate to plate, this isolated circle, like a free electron, disrupts the wise concentricity of the other circles to the point where, on the sixth plate, it almost leaves its ceramic support. This disruptive element becomes the focus of attention as the service unfolds.
Placed side by side, these plates produce an accelerating movement, transforming the plane on which they are placed, which then comes alive with an impenetrable dynamic.

The service is accompanied by a dish that brings together the 6 off-set circles and perfectly synthesizes the project, sublimating the work itself.
