Arc de 35,5°
1989
A bold, sweeping arc rendered in rich charcoal dominates the paper, its precise angular measurement suggesting a tension between mathematical rigor and raw, expressive mark-making. Venet's signature conceptual approach is evident in the work's reduction of form to a single, defined geometric gesture, where the arc's trajectory feels both calculated and visceral. The deep blacks of the charcoal against the paper's surface give the line a commanding physical presence, transforming an abstract numerical concept into a striking visual statement.
