About Gecko

The artwork titled “Gecko” by M.C. Escher, created in 1963, belongs to the Op Art movement and exemplifies tessellation.

The artwork presents a meticulously designed pattern of interlocking geckos, each rendered in different colors—primarily red, yellow, green, and black. The geckos are arranged in such a way that they form a seamless, repetitive pattern across the entire surface of the piece, demonstrating Escher’s masterful use of tessellation. The intricate arrangement highlights both the geometric precision and the artistic creativity characteristic of Escher’s work. The geckos’ forms are stylized yet recognizable, contributing to an overall effect that is both visually engaging and intellectually stimulating.
