Yvaral, Jean Pierre Vasarely, Structure Cubique Quadri B

A vibrant display of varying hues of blues and white come together to create an incredible arrangement of squares within a grid. They appear to be against a flattened, two-dimensional surface at first, however they swell up from the center and radiate outward in a dazzling effect. Appearing to leap off the canvas, penetrating the space of his audience, Yvaral has uniquely reigned the affect of optical art and creativity in his own outstanding and astounding way. The bright white focal point in the center only serves as a contrast to the darkened borders around the edge of the frame, adding an illusion of depth and intensity inherent in several of Yvaral's works. A dazzling display of optical effects and vibrant colors, Yvaral's success in capturing the viewer's attention is exemplified in this work. Our senses are completely engaged with its large scale, playing with our notion of three dimensions amidst a flat surface.

About the Framing:
Conservation framed with museum quality archival materials, this work is set in a modern black and gold leaf frame. The accent of gold leafing on the moulding adds a subtle highlight to the image and draws our focus into the painting. The simple moulding compliments the geometric abstraction of this work, without distracting our attention
