Double torus cast in Polyurethane, painted in eight synthetic resin colors. With certificate; signed and numbered by the artist. // Percy John Heawood Conjecture by Bernard Frize is a vibrant and playful sculpture composed of a double torus cast in polyurethane and painted with synthetic resin in eight distinct colors. Created in 2005 and limited to an edition of 45, this piece features intersecting loops that form a continuous, infinity-like shape. The bold use of color—yellow, blue, orange, green, black, and more—highlights the geometric simplicity of the form, yet invites complex interpretations related to mathematics and symmetry, as suggested by the title referencing mathematician Percy John Heawood. With dimensions of 24 cm in width, 8 cm in height, and 4 cm in depth, this piece is both a celebration of form and an exploration of abstract ideas, merging art with mathematical inspiration.

What is automatism?
Automatism refers to a technique in the creative process that accesses material from the unconscious or subconscious mind. It is based on Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic method of free association. Artists value this process for its ability to inspire creative thought and spontaneous creation.
