Op Art stimulates neuronal activity: neurons interpret geometric structure, frequency, and vibration. Depending on viewing distance and angle, they mentally reconstruct an illusory three-dimensional depth where geometric forms seem to appear and disappear, while certain colors transform into others. From a flat surface, perception creates visual depth and motion.

the image changes depending on the angle, the distance..A captivating new artwork: geometric shapes that appear and disappear, transforming into smaller dimensions, accompanied by Youri Messen-Jaschin’s latest screen print on paper. How is it possible for a static shape, printed on a flat surface, to seemingly change dimensions so strikingly before the viewer’s eyes?
An expert in optical illusions and color, talents to bring this fascinating effect to life.
Through meticulous mastery of contrasts, optical vibrations, and the dynamic interplay of colors, the artwork appears to transform under the viewer’s gaze, creating a unique and almost magical experience.

16.02.2025Purchase Award Winners : Youri Messen-Jaschin for HOUYHNHNM – Work will be added to the CollexArt Collection.– Boston USA. Collexart says : The screen printing is gorgeous and intriguing! It is impossible to look at it all at once. We get lost looking at various effects in the different quadrants. It’s a beautiful piece, and we’re excited to have another one of your works in our collection.
Op Art, or optical art, features works that often feature repetitive geometric patterns, striking contrasts, and illusory movements that create an immersive visual experience that never ceases to captivate.
But that’s not all: Op Art goes beyond aesthetics to connect with science, particularly neuroscience. Observing these works activates our neurons in unique ways, revealing fascinating mechanisms related to visual perception. Why do some illusions appear to move when they are static? How does the brain interpret these plays of light and shape? We delve into these intriguing questions to better understand the subtle dialogue between the eye and the brain.
Whether you are an art enthusiast, a neuroscience aficionado, or simply looking for a sense of wonder, this exploration of art in motion will offer you a total immersion in the transformative power of Op Art.

The book
In 2022, Éditions Favre published a book about the interface between Op Art and neuroscience, ‘L’Op Art rencontre les neurosciences’; it describes this research, with supporting accounts from experts. The success of this bestselling art book seems to prove that the perception of illusions is a subject of interest to both scientists and artists.
In this Op Art painting (oil on linen canvas), although static, an optical illusion is revealed in a truly unique way. To perceive it, simply photograph the original work with a smartphone or tablet: the illusion will then appear directly on your screen, changing your perception and you will discover the illusion.
This innovative approach offers a new way to explore optical illusions by exploiting digital technology. A visual experience like no other, impossible to reproduce on the Internet!
This screenprinting in black and white, when you look, the brain added color: red, mauve, bright yellow, green brilliant. It is the game of the optical illusion and our brain.. You must see the original silkscreen to see these illusions, the internet will not reveal these illusions to you. Digital distorts illusion.
