De la main à l’ordinateur, allers-retours (dessins et collages) - Vera Molnar , Hungary
Vera Molnar, Trio, collage on paper, 2019,
Vera Molnar invites us to an exceptional confrontation between sets of old drawings or collages and others made in recent months. For this historical pioneer of a work questioning the relationship between the artist and the computer, the exhibition is an opportunity to create a total environment where more than fifty works on paper will dialogue together. Some profiles of Mount Sainte Victoire will be presented in their various declinations, but also her games with grids of squares, computer creations, handwriting, and especially her latest collages, rarely presented but constituting an important aspect of her art and attesting to her freedom in her relationship to form and colour. All these works obviously have in common the opposition between the affirmation of subjectivity and programming. Whether through serial work or assemblage based on a goodwill, Vera Molnar deploys a syntax of doing that reaffirms the primacy of her playful choices over the objectivity of the computer. At 96 years of age, this "young artist" demonstrates once again how art remains more than ever open to all experimentation and all games of the mind and hand.
Access to the gallery will be in strict compliance with government health regulations in order to guarantee all necessary hygiene measures.

The gallery
For more than ten years, our gallery has distinguished itself through close collaborations with French and international artists in order to produce, each year, several original and singular ensembles. Throughout our history, we have collaborated with more than forty artists such as Giuseppe Penone, Anne and Patrick Poirier, Hamish Fulton, Hermann Nitsch, François Morellet, Vera Molnar, Lawrence Weiner, Pierrette Bloch, Philippe Favier, Claire Trotignon, Natacha Lesueur, Franck David etc.
Each of these projects is the result of an encounter not only with an artist but also with a practice that we wish to open up to other issues or techniques. We thus invite each artist to imagine and conceive works that take a particular place in his or her body of work, responding to a desire to present a specific and original work that opens up the exploration of new territories or mediums.
Strengthened by this commitment, our space in the 8th arrondissement of Paris is an opportunity to present our choices and our favourites and to reveal singular, atypical or little-known works, but of astonishing power. The gallery is a place where both established and up-and-coming artists meet, but also important artists too quickly forgotten by the great events of contemporary art, whether they come from Paris, Brussels, Madrid, New York, London or Berlin...
