PROTON II 1966

"PROTON II" (1966) by Victor Vasarely is a prime example of Op art, a style of art that utilizes optical illusions to create a sense of movement and depth. Vasarely’s work often incorporated geometric shapes and patterns, which is evident in this piece with its repetitive use of squares and diamonds in vibrant hues of red, blue, green and purple, producing a dynamic, almost hypnotic effect. The use of geometric shapes and bright colors is typical of Vasarely's work, as he explored the interplay of color, form, and perception. His work became highly influential, inspiring generations of artists with its focus on abstract patterns and their effect on the viewer's eye.
