// Chromoplastique 1025 by Luis Tomasello is a captivating example of geometric abstraction, blending subtlety with optical illusion. This wooden sculpture is composed of evenly spaced rectangular elements that project from a white base, each piece casting delicate shadows. The faint hints of pink glow at the edges of the forms add a sense of depth and movement, as the artwork subtly interacts with light and the viewer’s perspective. Known for his exploration of kinetic and optical art, Tomasello plays with perception, creating a work that appears to shift and transform as one moves around it. This piece embodies the artist’s dedication to light, shadow, and spatial illusion.
