Antonio Asis

Círculo Rojo y Negro Sobre Blanco

A mesmerizing op art composition by Argentine artist Antonio Asis, this work features a bold circular form rendered in red and black against a stark white ground. The incorporation of a metal screen over the oil-painted wooden surface creates a dynamic sense of visual vibration and depth, a hallmark of Asis's exploration of perceptual phenomena. The interplay between the rigid geometric form and the moiré-like effect of the screen invites the viewer's eye into a state of constant, shifting movement.
