About this work
For more than forty years, Jesús Soto experimented with optics and the representation of energy. During the 1950s his approach to the depiction of movement combined art and science, as he discovered that particularly vibrant patterns interfered with vision. He created a series of works, including London scribblings, in which the hanging of free-form metal rods in front of painted stripes produces vibrations and perceived motion. Soto’s kinetic relief sculptures are some of the most successful works made during the Op Art-Kinetic movement of the 1960s.
