"Exploring the intersection of optics and emotion, this exhibition examines how 20th-century masters translated raw visual energy into static, high-frequency compositions on canvas."

About

This retrospective showcases the evolution of color theory and abstract expressionism. Featuring key works from the mid-1950s to the 1970s, the exhibition explores how artists moved beyond traditional representations to create vibrating, kinetic surfaces that demand active participation from the viewer's eye and cognitive processing.
