Rainbow Environment No.7: Tactile Rainbow Room 1970

Ay-O's 1970 "Rainbow Environment No.7: Tactile Rainbow Room" exemplifies Op Art's use of vibrant colors and geometric patterns to create illusions of movement and depth. The artwork, often described as a "room within a room," features a grid of squares composed of overlapping bands of red, orange, yellow, green, and purple, creating a mesmerizing optical effect. The repetition of the pattern, along with the inclusion of lightbulbs, further enhances the viewer's sensory experience. Ay-O's works explore the interplay of color, form, and light, inviting the viewer to actively engage with the artwork.
