Screen printing, hand-signed and numbered // Blue Streak by Otto Piene, a limited-edition screen print from 1980, exemplifies the artist's exploration of light, color, and dynamic energy. The composition centers on a radiant black circular form with swirling edges, evoking a sense of motion or combustion. From its center, a striking, straight line of intense blue descends, creating a stark contrast against the muted, ochre-toned background. Piene’s minimalist approach emphasizes the interaction between light and dark, stillness and movement, giving the work an almost cosmic or elemental quality. This piece invites reflection on themes of energy, creation, and the ethereal nature of light.

What is kinetic art?
Kinetic art is an international movement that emerged in the 1920s and gained prominence in the 1960s, referring to art that involves both apparent and real motion. It encompasses any medium that includes movement, either relying on actual motion for its effect or being perceived as moving by the viewer. Early examples include canvas paintings designed to create optical illusions of movement. Today, kinetic art often refers to three-dimensional figures and sculptures, such as those operated by machines or those that move naturally. The movement covers a variety of styles and techniques that frequently overlap.
