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.

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.

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.

Optical illusion
In the original, you have three colors that are not painted, you have discovered them?


A collector writes: We can finally appreciate all of its resources. For example, by isolating four motifs from the whole—an alternation of squares and rectangles—a dynamic takes shape which, when taken within the overall work, creates a fluttering that produces the optical effect. Moreover, when the painting is positioned at eye level, a lighter area appears, forming a square along the diagonal.
