Oscilações do Claro Escuro I 1967

Eduardo Nery’s “Oscilações do Claro Escuro I” (1967) is a minimalist artwork, using simple geometric shapes like squares and rectangles in black and white. The work is characterized by its use of negative and positive spaces, creating an optical illusion of overlapping cubes and shadows. Nery's work often explored geometric abstraction and explored the relationship between light and shadow, as seen in this piece, which uses only two colors to create complex optical effects.
