Variable Kinetic Schema luminoso variabile + Quadrionda 130 1969

Grazia Varisco made this kinetic schema, like a sort of map of shifting light, using… well, what *did* she use? It looks like a checkerboard disrupted by an enormous drop of some milky substance, with the light kind of struggling to break through. I wonder about the act of making, what Varisco might have been thinking. It's like she’s slowing down perception. Each little square is catching the light a bit differently, right? And that round form seems to be pushing against the grid, wanting to dissolve it, or maybe emerge from it. It reminds me a bit of Vasarely, but with a softer touch. That push and pull, that shimmer, it’s not just about how it looks, but about how it feels to look, how our eyes adjust and readjust. And that’s where the art happens, in that little dance between the object and you. It's like a visual echo, bouncing back and forth.
