Titau 1989

Victor Vasarely’s ‘Titau’ presents a vibrant optical illusion using geometric forms and a cool colour palette. The diamond shapes in shades of green, blue, and lilac create a visual push and pull, which invites the eye to explore the artwork's surface. Vasarely masterfully manipulates the shapes and colours, playing with perception to create an image that seems to undulate and shift. This destabilizes our understanding of fixed space. The arrangement of the diamonds creates a sense of depth and movement. This engages with ideas central to the Op Art movement, which sought to explore how abstraction could affect visual experience. Ultimately, the artwork highlights the power of formal elements to create dynamic effects. The interplay between colour and pattern doesn't just create an aesthetic experience, but also engages with broader questions about perception. The work offers an ongoing invitation to question and reinterpret our visual reality.
