Mylla 1956 - 1987

Victor Vasarely made "Mylla" with clean lines and a tight color scheme that feels very now, even if it’s from, well, sometime ago. The colors are so controlled, with these sharp, almost menacing shapes doing a strange kind of dance. I'm always drawn to how artists build their worlds. In Vasarely's case, it's through the tension between order and a kind of visual chaos. Look at how the purple shapes interact with the oranges and reds. It’s not just about what they are, but about how they push and pull against each other. The edges are super defined, there’s no bleeding, no slop, it's like he's saying "this is it, no mistakes." This reminds me a little of Bridget Riley, but with a harder edge. There's a similar play with perception, but Vasarely feels more like a sculptor in paint, building forms that trick the eye. It’s a conversation, each artist riffing on the other, pushing art into new, exciting, and often disorienting places.
