The artwork titled “Stars 8 Pointed” was created by Sol LeWitt in 1996. It belongs to the Op Art movement and falls under the genre of abstract art.
“Stars 8 Pointed” exemplifies Sol LeWitt’s signature style and approach to geometric abstraction. The artwork displays a grid of 36 squares arranged in a 6×6 configuration. Each square contains a star with eight points, rendered in contrasting colors. The stars interplay with their background hues, causing a visual vibration that is characteristic of Op Art. The varied juxtaposition of colors captures the viewer’s attention and makes the stars appear to undulate, enhancing the optical illusion. This composition not only reflects the artist’s proficiency with patterns and repetition but also invites contemplation of color use and geometric precision.
