About the Item

This powerful original lithograph by Bernard Venet exemplifies the artist’s signature exploration of line, gesture, and abstraction. Renowned for his conceptual rigor and minimalist approach, Venet strips visual language down to its essence, creating bold, expressive forms that appear to both emerge from and dissolve into the surrounding space. Here, thick, assertive strokes arc and crisscross the composition, rendered in deep, earthy tones that evoke a sense of weight and structure despite their abstract nature. The spontaneity of the gesture contrasts with the precision of its execution—an interplay that defines much of Venet's oeuvre. The marks feel at once primal and intentional, suggesting movement, tension, and balance without depicting anything representational. Emerging in the 1960s as a leading voice in conceptual and minimal art, Bernard Venet has continually redefined the boundaries between mathematical order and expressive freedom. This lithograph reflects that duality beautifully, inviting the viewer to find meaning in the raw simplicity of form. It's an elegant and commanding piece, a quiet monument to the visual power of the line. Original Lithograph Abstract
