E-OP ART

Optical Illusions

adding the “E” to OP(tical) ART

Everything seems to get electrified these days. E-mobility, E-payments, E-cigarettes …. Why not E-Op Art?

With 21st century technology (Excel-Calculations; CAD; electronic image processing) I bring back the beauty of optical art “Op Art” (known from the 60’s/70’s in the last century). With increased precision and complexity, I raise Op Art to the next level. Unround distortion areas, twisters, deformed drawn interference, bars, polar coordinates, animations and even an Op-Art full ball. New combinations, that never heve been seen before.

how it is done

Regular grids, distorted according to precisely calculated mathematical ratios, can create the illusion of spatial depth. Just to avoid misunderstandings, my art is not done by artificial Intelligence. I do use a variety of electronical tools, e.g. Excel to calculate the distance between two lines, but the decision, what I want to draw, is a creative process, just like in every conventional painting drawn with brush and paint.

The space between the lines creates fields, that can be colourized. I choose start and end colours manually, but my tools help me to determine the fine, gradual shift of colour between two neighbouring fields.

The preliminary end product is a TIFF-File.

how to brig it into your live

Unlike the “old” Op Art my works are not only generated entirely electronical; these works are also transferable on everyday objects. My electronic pictures can not only be printed on canvas, they can also be used for print on metallic Alu-Dibond material or acrylic glass. There is a wall calender, phone cases, mugs, cushions, towels, background images etc. available just like you would get from a snapshot of your last holiday.
