“Vega 200,” created by Victor Vasarely in 1968, is an exemplary piece rendered in acrylic on canvas, representing the Op Art movement and abstract genre. The artwork is held in a private collection.
The artwork exemplifies the characteristics of Op Art, with a vivid interplay of geometric forms and contrasting colors designed to create optical illusions. “Vega 200” features a central sphere composed of an array of elliptical shapes and vibrant hues of red, green, blue, and yellow. These colors and shapes create a pulsating effect, giving the impression of three-dimensional depth and movement on a flat canvas. The meticulous arrangement and repetition of the circular forms draw the viewer’s eye towards the center, intensifying the visual experience and embodying the principles of the Op Art movement.
