The starting point for a comprehensive group of works, which addresses the theme of the circle in all its complex symbolism, lies in the magnificently illustrated Bible moralisée, the Codex Vindobonensis 2554 of the Austrian National Library. The cover picture with 13^th century Gothic lettering shows God as the creator of the world, shaping the earth with an oversized compass. Based on this, Vincent Tavenne depicts the outer edge of this ancient disc as a vast loose object with cosmic sculptural impact.

Inspired by a mediaeval depiction of God as the creator of the world, this cycle of works by Vincent Tavenne creates gouache paintings and objects of different formats, materials and colours based on the circle whereby the artist draws on the theme of cosmic order. Spirals, wave forms and organic elements unfold endlessly and create universal connections, harmonised in circle forms.

In Vincent Tavenne’s diverse work which draws on the themes of human perception and the subjective definition of self-constructed individual reality, we encounter display windows which captivate with their bizarre content. These ‘psycho-boxes’ invite us to step inside a miraculous mini-cosmos and interact ourselves as the transparent reflection of our own mirror image in the glass window.
