Tadasky made C 159 with some kind of paint, possibly acrylic, and a steady hand, given how neat those lines are. It’s amazing how the flatness of the concentric circles creates this optical buzz, playing tricks with your eyes! Look closely, and you’ll see how the bands of color – red, yellow, and blue – create a rhythm of form, a visual pulse that seems to move and vibrate on the canvas. It's really controlled and tight, not like my kinda painting at all! See how the blocks stop and start? It’s this interplay between precision and the handmade that makes this work so compelling. It reminds me a little bit of some of those Op artists from the sixties, like Bridget Riley, but with a brighter, pop-art edge. Ultimately, it's a painting that celebrates the pure joy of looking.
