🇦🇷 Avant-goût de mon prochain livre * Tango sous surveillance *
Argentine, 1981. Un artiste apatride. Une dictature militaire. Un amour impossible. Et le canon d’un tank pointé sur son visage, le matin où il allait simplement acheter du pain.
Un extrait en allemand est disponible sur le site de Globetrotter Suisse — la version française complète paraîtra aux Éditions Vérone, Paris

  • 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.

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.

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.
