About

Michael Kidner is a British artist known for his pioneering work in Op Art, a style characterized by optical illusions and visual effects. His work often explores mathematical concepts and the perception of color and form, contributing significantly to the development of kinetic and optical art movements.

Observations

The style uses saturated blocks of red, blue, green, orange, pink, and yellow arranged into repeated geometric and organic motifs. Clean-edged stripes, rounded bars, and undulating shapes are combined with subtly visible paint texture, giving the flat compositions a tactile, hand-painted surface.
