Grille Chromoplastique B by Luis Tomasello is a mixed-media sculpture that explores light and color through geometric abstraction. This piece, crafted from plastic and aluminum, features a grid structure that protrudes from the wall, creating dynamic shadows and color reflections. Within the intersecting squares, a subtle play of red and green hues emerges, appearing to float in the grid’s depths. The interaction of light across the grid shifts as viewers move, inviting them to experience the changing colors and shadows. Tomasello’s work is known for engaging with kinetic and optical art principles, emphasizing movement and perception in static forms.
Luis Tomasello (Argentina, 1915–2014) was an Argentine artist renowned for his contributions to kinetic and optical art. His signature 'Atmosphères chromoplastiques' series features white reliefs that manipulate light and shadow to create dynamic visual effects. Tomasello's innovative use of color reflection and geometric forms has been exhibited internationally, solidifying his legacy in contemporary art.
Mixed mediaMixed media refers to artwork that incorporates more than one medium within a single piece. Unlike multimedia art, which combines distinct forms of visual art and often includes elements like sound, video, or digital media, mixed media focuses on combining traditional art materials, such as paint, ink, and collage. Mixed media art allows artists to achieve a wide range of effects and textures by layering and blending different materials.

I don’t do anything. The light does it for me.
- Luis Tomasello
Luis Tomasello (b. 1915 Argentina, d. 2014 France) was an Argentine-born artist best known for his contributions to kinetic art and Op art. His work is celebrated for its innovative exploration of light, shadow, and color, often creating mesmerizing visual effects. Tomasello's signature style involved the use of geometric abstraction and carefully placed cubes or reliefs on surfaces to manipulate light and create dynamic, changing patterns as the viewer moves. Influenced by Constructivism and Concrete art, Tomasello's works are both visually captivating and intellectually stimulating, engaging the viewer in an active experience of perception. His art has been exhibited globally, solidifying his position as a significant figure in the development of kinetic and optical art. (Artist website)
Geometric abstraction is a form of abstract art that uses geometric shapes arranged in a non-illusionistic space (though not always) and combined into non-representational (non-objective) compositions. Based on years of artistic research, some artists have proposed that geometric abstraction offers a solution to modern challenges by rejecting traditional illusionistic practices in favor of clarity and simplicity.
