Inspired by microbiology, this mural is a bold fusion of art and science, capturing the intrigue and beauty of the quantum world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Visual artist, performer and dancer, Mathias Bensimon is an artist who places light at the heart of his work. Light as a medium and substance, but also light as a revealing intelligence. The artist tirelessly searches for and explores new luminous experiences through gestures and combinations of colors unique in contemporary art. Passionate about science, he has been working for a year and a half with the physicist Maxime Jacquet in a laboratory at the Sorbonne on the movement of light. A direct example is given to us with this fresco, Mathias Bensimon&#8217;s first such direct artistic foray into the scientific field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSciences give me images and avenues of reflection that will lead me to invent pictorial forms, ways of painting and representing. There is a lot of interpretation because sometimes I think from black and white or very blurry images. The whole point of this field of images is that they are images invisible to the naked eye but made visible by science and technology.\u201d Through this work, the painter wants to work on our representations of life, sometimes incomplete, and our interpretations that result from it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On this occasion, the artist invites us to dive into a world of immersive works and reveals behind the scenes of this project.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Exposition personnelle \u00e0 l\u2019occasion de la r\u00e9alisation d\u2019une fresque de 21 m\u00e8tres de long dans le jardin int\u00e9rieur du Minist\u00e8re de la Culture, au 182 rue Saint-Honor\u00e9, Paris.
