The artwork titled “Anello Edition Denise René”, created by Jesus Rafael Soto in 1972, is part of the Kinetic Art movement and falls within the genre of sculpture. Measuring 32 x 40 cm, this piece exhibits a dynamic interplay of shapes and lines, characteristic of Soto’s exploration of movement and optical illusion.
The artwork consists of a circular composition bisected vertically into contrasting halves. The left half features an array of thin, intersecting horizontal and diagonal lines, while the right half is densely filled with closely spaced black horizontal lines against a white background. Thin rods of varying lengths project outward in a seemingly random pattern, crossing the vertical divide to link both halves. The interplay of lines and rods generates a sense of movement and depth, creating varying visual effects as the viewer’s perspective changes.
