This painting of mine was inspired by Vasarely's Zebras. I really like strong contrasts and simple representation as well. However, it differs from Vasarely's zebras in that there are also hyperrealistic elements in my painting.<\/p>\n
Victor Vasarely (born Gy\u0151z\u0151 V\u00e1s\u00e1rhelyi, 1906\u20131997) was a Hungarian-French painter and sculptor, and a major representative of op-art. He can be considered the most significant exponent of optical painting, both through his life's work and his numerous theoretical writings in which he characterizes movement, among other things, as \u201ethe violence by which structures directly stimulate the retina of our eyes.\u201d.
\n\u201eVasarely created one of the most important pieces of his career when he made Zebra. The first version of the work was created 30 years before the development of the Op-art concept; yet it is part of the movement.
\nThe Zebra can be understood as a study of form, contrasts, and optical illusions. It seems that Vasarely chose the right animal to represent one of the first pieces of the Op-art movement.
\nSince 1937, in Zebra, the animals pose against a white background, and the contrast is obvious. Despite the different background color, the same effect can be experienced in the case of Zebra from 1965. In addition, the curved stripes of the zebras create the illusion of movement and play with the awareness of the human eye.\u201d<\/p>\n
