Vera MOLNAR

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

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

– « Circle on Circles » plates: 6 plates + 1 dish
Once again, Vera Molnar seizes the ceramic medium to create a set that once again demonstrates her ability to play with the ordering of geometric figures and a precisely orchestrated disorder.

On six white porcelain plates, a series of 29 concentric circles are aligned in fine black lines. One of them, the fifteenth, will undergo an increasingly marked random displacement. 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 of almost leaving its ceramic support on the sixth plate. This disruptive element becomes the center of attention as the service is discovered.
Placed side by side, these plates produce an accelerating movement, transforming the plane on which they are placed, which then comes alive with an invisibly imprinted dynamic.

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