Description
The “Mathematical Aesthetics” exhibition will feature works with pure, colorful, or minimalist geometric shapes: 2D and 3D puzzles of various geometric shapes representing irrational numbers, backlit wall sculptures describing the Fibonacci sequence in different scripts, as well as a line of jewelry and rugs inspired by the same mathematical themes.
Biography
Philippe Leblanc • Turnhout (Belgium) • 1964
Attuned to the rationality and purity of forms, Philippe Leblanc draws his inspiration from mathematics, ranging from the Fibonacci series to conic shapes, including iconic numbers such as the golden ratio, Pi, the square root of 2 or 3. His work explores and expresses the paradoxes between the rigor of the concept and the material constraints, the underlying rule and the apparent randomness, the mathematical dryness and the playful dimension of the experience, reflecting his idea that art should both stimulate and soothe the mind.
