The artwork titled “Regular Division of The Plane VI,” created by M.C. Escher in 1957, belongs to the Op Art movement and exemplifies the genre of tessellation.
The artwork intricately displays a geometric arrangement where reptilian figures are repeated without gaps or overlaps, manifesting Escher’s fascination with mathematical precision and visual paradoxes. The figures are arranged in such a way that the black and white forms interlock perfectly, creating a visually engaging pattern that shifts between positive and negative spaces. The consistent repetition of the lizard-like shapes across the piece showcases Escher’s masterful ability to create complex and seamless tessellations, inviting viewers to explore the meticulous design and the duality of forms.
