Bernar Venet defined the purpose of art as 'to contain knowledge rather than beauty' and 'to change the history of art.' Since 1989, his series "Indeterminate Lines," made from solid steel, has explored the playful interplay of extremely simplified yet restrained lines, as if freely drawing on a canvas with a brush.
He presents large sculptures that resemble fluid drawings created from the heavy material of steel. These works are the result of a combination of chance and discovery, showcasing a sculptural world that is infinitely expanding and open, without any fixed principles or boundaries.
This piece is part of the artist's furniture collection, featuring a rough and unique finish achieved by cutting steel with a torch. Through these robust steel creations, he seeks a simplicity that is both non-artistic and functionally minimalistic.
