Plate from VP Series 2 1972

Here we have Plate from VP Series 2 by Victor Vasarely, and it’s all about making your eyes dance with these perfectly placed circles of blue and red. It’s like Vasarely is thinking about how we see, how we perceive depth and space, playing tricks with colors to make these shapes jump out at you. Look at how the colors shift. From darker blues to softer pinks, it’s not just about what colors he’s using but how they play together to create this feeling of movement. It’s super flat, but it feels like it’s popping off the surface, right? The texture is smooth, no brushstrokes to be seen, which gives it this clean, almost mechanical feel. It reminds me a bit of Bridget Riley's work, that push and pull, but with a cooler, more geometric vibe. Art's just one big conversation, isn't it? Always someone riffing off someone else, creating new ways to mess with our heads.
