Oliver Beer is revealing a visual experience at the crossroads of the senses. This British artist turns musical harmony into a visual language on printable canvases. His Resonance Paintings display a highly singular interpretation of Monet’s famous Water Lilies. After recording sounds from the water lily pond in Giverny, Oliver placed a loudspeaker under a canvas positioned horizontally, on which a powdered pigment had been scattered. The sounds from the pond make the canvas vibrate, shifting and fashioning the pigment into visual representations of sound waves. These paintings, also created using musical harmonies, open up a dialogue with the Seine which flows alongside Le Hangar 107.
An exhibition in partnership with Frac Normandie.
