Luis Tomasello’s 'Chromoplastique S/T 1' is a captivating example of his expertise in creating dynamic optical effects through geometric abstraction. This piece continues his exploration of chromoplastic art, where he uses precise geometric forms to manipulate light and shadow. What sets Tomasello’s work apart is his ability to make light itself an integral component of the composition. In 'Chromoplastique S/T 1' , the interplay between the shadows and white backdrop creates a delicate sense of depth and rhythm. Like many of his works, this piece exemplifies Tomasello’s innovative approach to creating kinetic effects in static compositions, a hallmark of his contribution to the optical and kinetic art movements.
