The artwork titled “Bilbao,” created by Lino Tagliapietra in 2001, exemplifies the Op Art movement within the genre of sculpture.
The artwork portrays a dynamic, teardrop-shaped sculpture, ingeniously crafted with intricate precision. It features a harmonious blend of vibrant colors that seamlessly transition from golden yellow at the top to shades of blue and orange near the base. The fine linear patterns that enwrap the form contribute an optical illusion effect, a characteristic hallmark of the Op Art movement. The flawless finish and elegant curvature of the sculpture emphasize its fluidity and delicacy, exemplifying the artist’s mastery and innovation in glass art.
