JULIAN STANCZAK Sequential Chroma #4 1980 OP ART Painting Red Blue Violet Purple
By Julian Stanczak
Located in Rancho Santa Fe, CA
Signed, dated and titled on verso Original frame by the artist Provenance: Private Collection, Cleveland, Ohio; Acquired directly from the artist in 1980. Julian Stanczak's Sequential Chroma #4 (1980) is a striking example of Op Art—a movement known for its optical illusions and visual dynamism. Measuring 44 x 38 inches and rendered in acrylic on canvas, the work exemplifies Stanczak’s mastery of color relationships and geometric precision. The composition is meticulously constructed with a grid of squares that radiate an intricate interplay of hues, creating a mesmerizing visual effect. The painting’s title, Sequential Chroma #4, highlights Stanczak’s deliberate approach to exploring the sequential interaction of colors.
