Lumière Noire unique II/X (2011) by Luis Tomasello is a one-of-a-kind artwork made from wood and plastics, measuring 40 × 40 × 4 cm. Its surface is composed of a grid of matte black squares, some slightly tilted to alter the way they catch and reflect light. These subtle shifts create an intricate play of shadows and highlights, revealing depth and variation within the monochrome field. Part of Tomasello’s celebrated kinetic and optical investigations, the piece engages the viewer through movement and perception. Signed in marker on the back, it is the sole work of its edition.
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)
Concrete Art is an art movement founded by the Dutch artist Theo van Doesburg in the 1930s. The movement emphasizes pure abstraction, focusing on geometric shapes and colors without any reference to the natural world or symbolic meaning. Unlike other forms of abstract art, Concrete Art is entirely non-representational and is based on mathematical principles and precise execution. It aims to create universal, timeless works by using simple, clear forms that emphasize objectivity and clarity.
