“Multiple No. 12” by Julio Le Parc is an exemplary piece from the Kinetic Art movement, characterized as an installation artwork.
The artwork consists of a series of vertical, polished metal strips that are arranged in parallel, uniformly spaced rows. The design captures and reflects light, creating an interplay of shadows and highlights that shift with the viewer’s perspective and ambient lighting. This dynamic interaction of light and movement engages the observer, aligning with the principles of Kinetic Art, which emphasizes the experience of motion and perception. The meticulous arrangement of the elements within the artwork underscores the artist’s commitment to exploring visual effects and spatial relationships.
