Bernar Venet *
(born in Château-Arnoux-Saint-Auban, France in 1941)
Grib - three parts, 2008, signed B. Venet, etching, polymer gravure, carborundum on Somerset textured paper, no 25 from the edition of 60, sheet size 91.5 x 126.5 cm, plate size 73 x 109 cm, printed by Peter Kosowicz at Thumbprint Editions, London, published by World House Editions, Middlebury, Connecticut, framed (3)
“The present work is from the artists’ Gribs series, marking the first time the Gribs have been translated into the print medium. These new prints are highly representative of the artist’s torch-cut steel sculptures that seem to float off the wall. Grib is French slang for gribouillage and refers to a doodle or scribble; the kind school children did in their notebooks, often daydreaming in class. The new prints, with their intense black lines against the white ground, seem to float off of the sheet, creating a push-pull between positive and negative space.” (zit.:https://www.worldhouseeditions.com/node/569)
