// Luis Tomasello’s S/T 2 - Naranja from 2013 is a limited-edition lithograph that explores the subtle interplay of light, form, and color. This artwork features two diamond-shaped clusters of small, raised white squares with soft orange accents, meticulously arranged to create a sense of depth and movement. The orange reflections add warmth to the predominantly white composition, with each square casting delicate shadows that enhance the piece's three-dimensional effect. Tomasello’s use of color and form invites viewers to engage with the shifting dynamics of light and perception, making the artwork an exploration of minimalist aesthetics and spatial illusion.
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.
Lithograph (includes frame)Lithography is a printing method based on the principle that water and oil do not mix. It can be used to print artwork or text onto paper or other suitable materials. Traditionally, an image was drawn with wax, fat, or oil onto a lithographic limestone surface or plate. Today, metal plates and other surfaces are also used in lithographic printing.

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)
Op Art is a visual art style that uses optical illusions to create the impression of movement, vibrating patterns, flashing, or hidden images. The works are typically abstract, with many well-known pieces in black and white. The roots of Op Art can be traced back to earlier movements like Futurism, Constructivism, Dada, and Neo-Impressionism, particularly in their use of color effects and graphic design.
