Luis Tomasello’s S/T 2 - Verde from 2013 is a limited-edition lithograph that embodies his fascination with optical effects and spatial perception. This work features two diamond-shaped clusters of small, raised white squares with subtle green accents. The strategic arrangement and slight angling of each square generate a dynamic play of light and shadow, creating an illusion of depth and movement as the viewer shifts perspective. The green tones lend a delicate vibrancy against the white background, enhancing the artwork’s sense of dimension and structure. Tomasello’s approach encourages the viewer to interact visually with the piece, observing how light and color subtly transform the geometric design.
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)
ZERO was an art movement founded by Otto Piene and Heinz Mack, aiming to develop into a large international and cross-border movement. The name ZERO originated from a magazine founded by Heinz Mack in 1957, which became a platform for the group's ideas. The magazine was published for several years before ceasing in 1967. The ZERO movement sought to create a new beginning in art, emphasizing light, space, and movement, and became influential in post-war European art.
