What are the Characteristics of Op Art?

Before Op Art was born, many artists were curious about how optical effects and illusions affect people's perception of the existing art. Op Art uses abstract patterns with extreme contrast between the foreground and background. This disparity will create an effect that confuses the eyes. Some people say that Op Art is linked with Kinetic Art; however, Op Art focuses on virtual motion, meanwhile kinetic art more on the actual movement of the craft. Op artists designed complex and contradictory optical spaces through the imaginary manipulation of simple repetitious forms, such as parallel lines, checkerboard patterns, and concentric circles, or chromatic pressure from the juxtaposition of complementary colors of equivalent assertiveness. Below are some characteristics of Op Art so you can identify them:

• Abstract patterns.
• Most of the op art is in black and white colors.
• The extreme contrast between the foreground and background.
• Create swelling, warping, moving, blurring, flashing, and vibrating to the eyes.
• Intense geometrical shapes.
