8. Optical Abstraction
Optical abstraction, often known as Op Art, focuses on creating illusions that trick the eye. Using contrasting colors, repetitive patterns, and precise lines, these works appear to move, vibrate, or change shape as viewers look at them.
Artists like Bridget Riley and Victor Vasarely became famous for optical abstraction. Their works are engaging because they create visual puzzles and dynamic effects.
This style emphasizes how perception can be manipulated through art, making it interactive and playful.
