IN CONVERSATION WITH EUGEN JOST: ART, MATHEMATICS AND SYMMETRY
Simone Brasili
Abstract: In this short conversation, Eugen Jost, a well-known Swiss artist whose work is strongly influenced by mathematics, discusses the role of symmetry in his art. The dialogue sheds light on how symmetry naturally emerges in his artistic expressions through an intricate process of balance and harmony. The interview reveals his relationship between mathematics and art, helping us understand the multifaceted nature of their intricate connection with symmetry expressed in the works as in the Egyptian Triangle: a fascinating testament to the profound interplay between the order and rigor of mathematics and the boundless creativity of art, resulting in stunning works that evoke a sense of wonder and awe.
