optical art

This is a striking black and white drawing that exemplifies the principles of Op Art, or Optical Art. The composition centers around a central vanishing point, from which radiating lines and alternating black and white bands create a powerful illusion of depth and perspective. The black and white stripes are meticulously arranged, converging towards the center of the image. This creates a visual effect that makes the surface appear to either bulge outwards or recede inwards, depending on how the viewer perceives the pattern. The stark contrast between the black and white areas intensifies this optical illusion, giving the artwork a dynamic and almost kinetic quality. The precision and symmetry of the design are characteristic of Op Art, which often explores the interaction between geometric forms and the human eye's perception.
