The artwork, titled “Untitled,” is a creation by Jesus Rafael Soto, a prominent figure in the Op Art movement. This piece, falling within the abstract genre, exemplifies the optical and perceptual illusions characteristic of Op Art.
The artwork features a symmetrical arrangement of squares and rectangles, using a restricted palette of black, blue, grey, and yellow. The composition is structured in a grid format, with nine larger square sections. Four of these sections are yellow, placed at the four corners of the artwork. The central square and the midline sections of the grid are grey, and they contain smaller squares in black, blue, and light grey. The varying colors and repetitive geometric shapes induce a sense of movement and depth, creating a visually engaging and dynamic experience. The interplay of color and form reflects the meticulous precision and optical playfulness central to Jesus Rafael Soto’s work in the Op Art movement.
