Bernar Venet Biography

Bernar Venet (born 1941) is a French conceptual artist recognized for his monumental steel sculptures, paintings, and performances. His work straddles the intersection of art and mathematics, with a focus on the concept of 'indeterminacy'. His towering arcs, lines, and angles, often rusted, are renowned worldwide for their mathematical precision and stark beauty. Venet's influence extends to academic discourse, teaching, and founding a non-profit for arts education. His works are prominently displayed in public spaces globally.
