Description
Geometric Abstraction – Op Art Soto, Jesús Rafael Kinetic Composition. 1974. Silkscreen print on vellum. 36.7 x 37 cm (56 x 75.2 cm). Signed. – Minimal creasing. - A magnificent print with high-contrast colouring. Unnumbered copy from a print run of 100. - The work depicts a geometric interplay between a black rectangle and a large white circle, the overlap of which creates a distinct light-dark tension. The lower half of the circle is criss-crossed by a dense network of horizontal lines that extend beyond the edge of the picture and intersect diagonally – a zigzag pattern that appears to vibrate optically. The contrast between the light grey area on the left and the deep black, densely packed area on the right creates an illusory sense of depth on a purely flat surface. The work is exemplary of Soto’s kinetic art: movement and depth are generated solely through visual perception, without anything physically moving. Kinetic Composition. 1974.
