About
Op art is a style of visual art that uses optical illusions to create the impression of movement or hidden images. Emerging in the 1960s, it is characterized by its use of geometric patterns, contrasting colors, and precise lines to engage the viewer's eye and create dynamic visual effects.
Observations
Across all four renders, the style uses sharply defined geometric patterns—especially stripes and checkerboards—warped into impossible spatial forms and optical illusions. Saturated contrasting palettes, flat graphic areas, and repeated directional lines create a bold, kinetic, surreal effect.
