Victor Vasarely, Another Dimension

By A Mystery Man Writer

A&R Fleury gallery is pleased to invite you to this which aims to illustrate the lasting nature of Vasarely’s art by highlighting the scope of his inventions. This project focuses on two periods and themes which are very different from the visual point of view, but entirely linked from the historical one. The black-and-white period at the end of the 1950s, represented in the exhibition by three major works, reveals the artist’s visual concerns by means of the line and the square, two essential elements which hark back to his stint as a graphic designer, and which he developed to the point of their maximum deformation in order to produce an optical effect. During second key period of this project, from the mid-1960s, Vasarely embarked on a spectacular production in which he defined his “universal structures” and explored the universe of galaxies. The “Vega” series gave rise to spheres that swell to escape the frame, creating extraordinary volumes. They are the highlight of the exhibition.
