Square root of 2, golden ratio, Fibonacci sequence, Langford sequence, tetrahedron, torus, algorithms... Consciously or unconsciously, the artists presented here draw on these concepts to show us the beauty of the world through the prism of their experiments. As successors to cubism, constructivism, op'art (or optical art) or fractal art, these artists turn maths and geometric shapes into tools or themes that they put at the service of art. Thus, colours, materials and shapes, under the authority of more or less learned calculations, become drawings, paintings, sculptures, objects or even the mood of light, transforming our environment. The artists thus provide us with a view of the world that complements that of the scientists.
As the title suggests, this exhibition brings together artists from different backgrounds and generations who intuitively offer us a spectrum of contemporary works that are as poetic as they are rigorous, as seductive as they are questioning. Hanna Roeckle is one of them.
