The artwork, titled “Yvaral,” was created by the esteemed artist Victor Vasarely in the year 1956. Executed using acrylic on canvas, this piece belongs to the Op Art movement and measures 210 x 200 cm. It falls under the genre of abstract art.
The artwork features an intricate arrangement of black dots on a white background. The dots are meticulously placed to form a square grid that appears to extend infinitely, creating an optical illusion of depth and three-dimensionality. At the center, the density and positioning of the dots guide the viewer’s perception towards an inner square, subtly distinct from the larger grid. The optical play achieved by the precise and repetitive placement of the dots characterizes the visual rhythm and kinetic energy typical of Op Art. The symmetrical and calculated structure underscores Vasarely’s mastery in manipulating visual perception, presenting a compelling exploration of form and space.
