Bernar Venet's exhibition is being held in the Seoul Museum of Art. He is an international artist born in France, and he works with various mediums like painting, sculpting, performance art and photography.
His works have new features that we couldn't see before. He has moved out of limited mediums like sculpting and painting, and he has expanded the range of art by using math and language. Various letters and mathematical symbols which are painted in his works show his thoughts.
Bernar Venet created a lot of his most interesting works with the concept of saturation. 'Saturation' means the state or process that happens when no more of something can be accepted or added because there is already too much of it or too many of them. He wanted to criticize information-oriented societies where people can't understand the meaning of information because of too much information being delivered simultaneously.
Through mathematical formulas and letters, he asks visitors very philosophical and artistic questions like 'What is the meaning of understanding art?' and 'Are only things that we can clearly understand beautiful things?'. He wanted to say, 'People usually think that appreciating art is difficult, but everyone can easily appreciate art in their own way.'
Bernar Venet's exhibition shows that art is not only drawing pictures with brushes or paints and that everything in the world can be tools for art. Bernar Venet's exhibition definitely suggests a new angle on art.
