Vasarely, from programmatic to digital art

Exhibition at the Lympia Space cultural center until October 20th 2023, 2 quai Entrecasteaux, 06300 Nice, open from Wednesdays to Sundays (10am - 6pm), phone : 04.89.04.53.10, admission free.

The Lympia Space cultural center underlines a big retrospect around the work of the Optical Art (Op Art) father Victor Vasarely and also builds a dialog with six others contemporary artists (Daniel Canogar, Miguel Chevalier, Pascal Dombis, Dominique Pétrin, Sabrina Ratté and Flavien Théry) showing us his belonging to contemporary vanguard. Optical Art plays on the way how eyes understands art towards illusions or optical games. Naming for the first time in 1964 Optical Art finds his roots inside colors mixing theories coming from Kandinsky to Duchamp. Vasarely performs in advertising before becoming artist and begins in 1938 with "Zebra - A" a canvas owning black and white ribbons putting together or face to face looking like two zebras. Vasarely follows the goal building a popular art sharing by everybody unlike the one loving by the elites. Each optical art canvas or masterpieces look like prototypes owning imagination and technology who could be integrating in uggly buildings areas for giving a better future.
