Victor Vasarely — KEK-EG-II (1975)

The Illusion in Motion

Undisputed master of Op Art (optical art), Victor Vasarely revolutionized visual perception in the 20th century. This original serigraph, titled KEK-EG-II and dated 1975, is a masterful demonstration of his plastic alphabet. Through a rigorous grid and vibrant chromatic contrasts, the artist creates a distortion of the flat surface, giving rise to a three-dimensional depth that seems to pulse beneath the viewer's eye.

A Kinetic and Chromatic Work

In this composition, Vasarely plays with units of shapes and colors to generate virtual movement. He first creates a complex geometry where square and circle merge to create expanding spherical volumes. His palette is A powerful harmony of deep blues (cobalt, ultramarine), dense violets and warm ochres, punctuated by accents of red, typical of his research on plastic unity. Thus, the work inhabits space through the focal point it creates.

Studio Cinquante's Opinion

"This plate is an emblematic piece from Vasarely's mature period. We particularly like the vibration of colors in this edition, which retains all its modernity. It is a 'totem' work of kinetic art that brings immediate architectural depth to a contemporary interior."
