The artwork, titled “Dinosaur,” was crafted by the artist Lino Tagliapietra in the year 2006. It is a sculpture that belongs to the Op Art movement.
The sculpture exhibits a fluid, elongated form that rises in a graceful, sweeping curve, culminating in a delicate, tapering point. The piece is characterized by a striking pattern of black and white geometric shapes that create a dynamic, optical illusion, a hallmark of the Op Art genre. These patterns evoke a sense of movement and depth, which is further enhanced by a gradient of color that transitions from deep orange to a rich purple hue, adding a vibrant contrast to the monochromatic elements. The artwork’s overall design suggests a modern and sophisticated aesthetic, blending technical precision with an artistic flair for visual intrigue.
