Gordes Tridim (1971) by Victor Vasarely is a striking screenprint that exemplifies the artist's pioneering work in optical and kinetic art. Part of the Gordes portfolio, the composition features an isometric cube-like structure rendered in a vibrant grid of diamond-shaped modules in varying hues of blue, red, green, violet, and orange. The spatial illusion is intensified by Vasarely’s precise manipulation of color and geometry, creating the sensation of a three-dimensional form emerging from a flat surface. The work plays with perception, depth, and visual instability, hallmarks of Vasarely’s artistic language. This print, produced on white cardboard and signed and numbered in pencil, reflects Vasarely’s deep interest in systems, structures, and the viewer’s optical engagement. Published in an edition of 250 by the Fondation Vasarely in Gordes and printed by Arcay, the piece is a textbook example of Vasarely’s exploration of geometric abstraction as a dynamic visual experience.
Victor Vasarely (Hungary/France, 1906–1997) was a pioneering figure in Op Art, celebrated for his geometric abstractions that create optical illusions of depth and movement. His work, characterized by vibrant colors and precise patterns, redefined visual perception in art and remains influential in both the art and design worlds.
Screen-print Screen printing is a technique where ink is transferred through a mesh onto a substrate, with areas blocked by a stencil to prevent ink from passing through. This method, also known as serigraphy or silkscreen printing, is commonly used to produce prints on posters, T-shirts, vinyl, stickers, wood, and other materials. The process is a type of stencil printing, allowing for vibrant, detailed designs on various surfaces.

It is the original idea that is unique, not the object itself.
- Victor Vasarely
Widely regarded as the 'grandfather’ and leading figure of the Op Art movement, Victor Vasarely was a sculptor and painter whose works often combine colourful graphics with geometric shapes to create the illusion of spatial depth, exemplified in such works as Vega-Nor. Vasarely initially began as a poster artist and graphic designer before experimenting artistically with textural effects and the interplay between shadow and light, resulting in such works as Zebra, which is broadly accepted as one of the first examples of Op Art; the artist worked with numerous materials including Perspex and wood, but only a minimal number of colours and forms. Throughout his career, Vasarely experimented with numerous styles including surrealism and cubism, but was most notably inspired by the methods of Bauhaus and Constructivism, as well as painter and art theorist Wassily Kandinsky.

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.
