Richard Anuszkiewicz
“I’m interested,” Richard Anuszkiewicz (1930–2020) once said, “in making something romantic out of a very, very mechanistic geometry.” Anuszkiewicz sought to achieve this romance through works juxtaposing vibrant colors in geometric configurations. The perceptual effects he created helped define the American Op art movement.
Anuszkiewicz studied color theory at Yale under Josef Albers and was greatly influenced by Albers’s approach. “The image in my work has always been determined by what I wanted the color to do,” Anuszkiewicz explained in a 1974 catalogue. “Color function becomes my subject matter, and its performance is my painting.”
He departed from his mentor, however, in the pulsating, illusory qualities he gave his work. One of his most famous paintings, Deep Magenta Square (1978), although similar in composition to Albers’s “Homage to the Square” series, is distinctly Op art in the way the striations surrounding the central square seem to vibrate and jump off the canvas.
Anuszkiewicz spent his entire career exploring optical effects through the manipulation of line and color, producing spectacular and timeless pieces of art. “Working with basic ideas will always be exciting,” he said in 1977. “And if a color or form is visually exciting in any profound sense, it will be that way in 10 or 20 years from now.”

- NanteZBy Roman LangLocated in Napoli, ITRoman Lang creates analog post-remix art, vibrantly colored neo-con- structivism. His works are brain flickers, revealing the moment where long- and short-term memories overlap, layer by layer. They are associative streams of thought,flashes of inspiration, flashbacks, hallucinations, illusions. Fragmented memories sweep across the surfaces of his paintings like geometric ele- ments in a computer game. 2022 upcoming: "German Contemporary", Obscura Gallery, Seoul upcoming: Galleria Marrocco, Naples / Solo _2021 "Wall 404 Not Found", The Suburban, Milwaukee / Solo2018 Galerie Gudrun Fuckner, Stuttgart / Solo Azul", Kunstraum JK, Salzburg 2017 Galerie Rupert Pfab, Düsseldorf / Solo "Die Grosse...Category
