Variationes circa triangula

Variationes circa triangula revolves around a common base: compositions created solely using triangles.

The ultimate goal of this ongoing series is to glimpse all possible compositions starting from the first gesture: segmenting the composition space using a grid and placing triangles within it.

Each program can be seen as independent with no hierarchy, but they were each produced from the one that preceded it, as if each marks a stage in the creation of a single work, or as if each marked a branch, a choice in the creative process.

This series bears witness to research that sometimes leads to dead ends and pushes us to retrace our steps - the generative artist, like a photographer, takes a snapshot to immortalize what they see before continuing their path.

Variationes circa triangula demonstrates a search for wonder through sometimes doubts and contradictory ideas. It seeks to freeze key moments in the creative process where wonder is possible or perceived.

Nicolas Lebrun

Born in Carpentras, France (1985), Nicolas Lebrun graduated from Montpellier's Ecole des Beaux-arts, where he still works. His art evolved from interactive installations to protocol-based series existing in both digital and physical spaces. Lebrun explores spatial perception, investigating how 2D planes can convey depth. His distinctive visual language features leaning cubes, wire renderings, primitive shapes and polygon tangles arranged in modular systems. Each project functions as a dynamic system where transformative processes simultaneously build and deconstruct compositions, creating new visual relationships through deliberate alteration.
