The artwork titled “Caopeo,” created by Victor Vasarely in 1964, belongs to the Op Art movement and is an abstract piece rendered on porcelain. Measuring 198 x 198 cm, it exemplifies the innovative and visually engaging qualities characteristic of Vasarely’s oeuvre.
The artwork features a highly structured composition of repeated circular designs arranged in a grid format. These circles are predominantly in black and white, with each circle divided into two contrasting semi-circles. The repetitive but varied arrangement of these shapes creates a dynamic optical effect that suggests movement and a sense of depth. The interaction of light and shadow within the geometric purity of the design adds to the illusionary quality, capturing the viewer’s attention and evoking a mesmerizing visual experience.
