An exemplary piece of Op Art, the oil on canvas titled "ST3" by American School artist Stephen T. Boone, was created in 1986. Measuring 20 inches wide by 36 inches high, this captivating artwork is a testament to Boone's mastery of geometric abstraction and optical illusion.

Op art, a mid-20th-century movement, explores the manipulation of shapes and colors to create mesmerizing optical effects. Boone's "ST3" is a prime example of this genre, where precise arrangements of geometric forms induce illusions of movement and depth. The interplay of light and shadow on the canvas amplifies its visual impact, captivating viewers with its pulsating rhythms and flickering patterns.

Influenced by styles like Orphism, Constructivism, and Futurism, op art painters like Boone sought to engage viewers in a dialogue between perception and reality. Through deliberate formal manipulations, they elicited sensations of ambiguity and contradiction, challenging the boundaries of visual experience.

"ST3" stands as a testament to Boone's innovative spirit and artistic vision. Ready to hang vertically or horizontally. See less
