Bernar Venet — 222.5° Arc x 10
Bernar Venet

222.5° Arc x 10

2012

A monumental steel sculpture composed of ten massive arcing forms, each bent to a precise angle of 222.5 degrees, creating a dynamic and rhythmic interplay of curves in space. Venet's signature mathematical and geometric language is evident in this work, where industrial raw steel takes on an imposing physical presence that simultaneously evokes both order and tension. The overlapping arcs invite viewers to consider the relationship between geometric precision and the raw, elemental power of the material itself.
