Experience the mesmerizing magic of op art with “Grille Noire”, a captivating abstract creation by the celebrated French artist Marc Pessin (1933-2022). Renowned for his prowess as an engraver and illustrator, Pessin’s works are a testament to his impeccable artistry, and this piece is no exception.

Intricately detailed, the silkscreen print showcases a meticulous arrangement of vertical lines. The brilliance lies in the distortion, crafting an illusionary warp that appears to move and undulate, entrancing the viewer with its visual depth and movement. Pessin’s choice of a stark black printed on a lustrous white enameled aluminum sheet accentuates the design, ensuring it captivates from any distance.

Elegantly framed, the art is float mounted against a black archival board, ensuring the vibrancy remains undistracted. The black-stained solid wood gallery frame, with its subtle 3/4” face, complements the artwork’s monochromatic palette while adding depth and character. Museum-grade glass not only protects this treasured piece but also enhances its visual clarity. The art itself measures 28.5” H x 22.5” W. The frame measures 41” H x 32.5” W x 2” D.

Numbered 29/100 and bearing the signature of Pessin, a reminder of the maestro behind this masterpiece. Whether you're an op art aficionado or someone who appreciates refined artistry, “Grille Noire” promises to be a conversation starter, a piece that resonates with both heart and home.
