Après un an de recherche au sein des archives de la Fondation Vasarely à Aix-en-Provence, Oran Hoffmann s’est approprié les matériaux originaux des oeuvres à grande échelle du plasticien Victor Vasarely. Il a isolé les carreaux de céramique, les pièces d’aluminium et les feuilles de papier puis a photographié chacun de ces éléments séparément. Ainsi il s’affranchit de la dimension spectaculaire des oeuvres de Vasarely, nous en dévoile les coulisses et nous conduit à la genèse de leur création. Avec ses compositions photographiques minimales Oran Hoffmann explore l’univers de Vasarely et en élabore aussi une interprétation contemporaine.

During a year of research at Fondation Vasarely, Aix-en-Provence, Oran Hoffmann meticulously organized and catalogued the original materials that the visual artist Victor Vasarely had employed for his large-scale works. He isolated the ceramic tiles, aluminiumpieces or paper sheets he discovered and photographed each of these elements separately. Hoffmann shows and draws us nearer to the source from which artistic work erupts, at the same time his photographic interventions both explore and interpret Vasarely’s work. A selection of these photographs is now available in book form, Vasarely Material Archives, published by RVB Books, Paris. 

Oran Hoffmann est un artiste émergent sur la scène artistique contemporaine. Né en 1981 à Kibbutz Sarid, il vit et travaille entre Tel Aviv et Amsterdam. Diplomé de l’Academie Gerrit Rietveld à Amsterdam en 2006 et avec les honneurs à l’Académie des Arts et du Design de Jerusalem/Tel Aviv en 2011, il a été grati é de nombreux prix dont celui du « jeune artiste » décerné par le Ministre de la Culture d’Israël en 2013. Il a exposé au Musée des Arts de Tel Aviv pour l’exposition «Objektiv» en 2014 avec Josef Albers et a eu plusieurs expositions personnelles notamment au Broadway 1602 à New-York. Hoffmann s’impose pour la première fois en France avec trois expositions simultanées à Aix-en-Provence en 2018, dont l’Atelier Cezanne et la Fondation Vasarely, où il a fait usage de ces matériaux originaux présents dans les archives pour la constitution de ses propres sculptures.
