Peck Blenda, Geometric Composition, Work on Aluminum Panel, 1970s

An artwork on aluminum panel by Peck Blenda (also known as Pek), an exponent of Op Art in the 1970s, a movement in abstract art that uses visual perception to create illusions of movement or three-dimensionality on static surfaces.

The key characteristics found in Peck Blenda's works include:
- Rigorous geometry: Use of patterns, lines, and modules repeated with mathematical precision.
- Color contrasts: Often based on black and white or complementary colors to maximize the image's "vibration."
- Industrial materials: Peck Blenda's use of silkscreened aluminum is typical of Op Art artists' desire to merge art and science/technology.

The work presented here is characterized by
Dynamic Geometry: a series of thin lines and stipples, starting from the center and expanding toward the edges, create a four-pointed star shape. This geometric structure is designed to guide the eye and create a sense of expansion.
Three-Dimensional Effect: Despite being a flat surface, the arrangement of the reliefs creates an illusion of depth and volume. The concentric circles of small raised dots simulate a sort of "bulging" or warping of the surface.
Interaction with Light: Since it is silkscreened aluminum, the work changes appearance depending on how the light hits it and the position of the viewer. This creates the "vibration" typical of kinetic art.
Chromatic Minimalism: The use of a single metallic tone emphasizes the play of shadows created by the reliefs, making the perception of form the only true subject of the work.
Framed and ready to hang, the work is in excellent condition with minor signs of wear: we cleaned it as much as possible, but some stains remain due to age and use. The artist's signature is present on the front.
