Méandre IV 1959

This is Victor Vasarely’s ‘Méandre IV,’ a black and white maze of lines. Just imagine him in his studio. I think he must have been trying to work out how little you can do to make something feel like a lot. There's something about this piece that makes me feel like I'm falling down a rabbit hole, just pulled into the image, and then suddenly, BAM, I see a face staring back. Maybe it's me? This artwork is an inquiry into how we see and what we perceive. It also makes me think of Bridget Riley, and other artists who are all constantly riffing off each other. Isn't painting just a giant conversation anyway? It goes on and on through the ages, it’s so cool. Ultimately, this piece is an invitation to dive into the ambiguity of perception and find your own meaning.
