Homiens New York – Curator’s Comment
Messen-Jaschin’s captivating screenprint is a masterful feat of Op Art, utilizing meticulously calculated geometric repetitions to push visual perception to its absolute physical limits. We are mesmerized by how the static surface dynamically shifts, pulses, and transforms depending on the viewer’s vantage point, creating a profoundly immersive kinetic experience.

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. This art transcends mere visual perception, inviting the viewer on an immersive journey where geometry and color constantly reinvent themselves.

  • 16.02.2025 Purchase 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.
