Peter Sedgley — 1969-70
Peter Sedgley

1969-70

Peter Sedgley's *Video Disques* (1969–70) are mesmerizing kinetic works that employ rotating discs and colored light to create pulsating, optically dynamic compositions. Sedgley, a key figure in the Op Art movement, harnesses the interplay of color and motion to produce hypnotic visual rhythms that seem to breathe and shift before the viewer's eyes. These works reflect his deep interest in the perceptual and psychological effects of color, blurring the boundary between painting, light art, and time-based media.
