Tensioni formali da instabilità luminosa 1967

"Tensioni formali da instabilità luminosa" (Formal Tensions from Luminous Instability) is a 1967 work by Italian artist Mario Ballocco (1913-2008). The black and white geometric composition, executed in a minimalist style, features a dynamic arrangement of overlapping triangles. The triangles converge towards the center, creating a sense of depth and visual tension. This optical effect, known as "op art," was popular in the 1960s and aimed to stimulate the viewer's perception and create an illusion of movement.
