The artwork titled “Vega-Nor,” created by Victor Vasarely in 1969, is an acrylic painting on canvas that measures 200 by 200 centimeters. This piece belongs to the Op Art movement and is classified within the abstract genre.
The artwork features a striking optical illusion, achieved through the precise arrangement of brightly colored squares and grid patterns. The central focus is a spheroid that appears to bulge outward from the flat canvas, creating a sense of three-dimensionality. The vibrant use of colors such as blue, yellow, red, and green, as well as the meticulous gradient transitions, further enhance the illusion of depth and movement. The repetitive geometric patterns and the interplay of contrasting hues are quintessential elements of Vasarely’s op art style, captivating the viewer and challenging perceptions of space and form.
