About the Item
Impressive large Op Art mirror by Godfried Lonis (September 1916 – January 2007), The Netherlands 1976. A unique work composed of a cream-white lacquered panel featuring 117 mirrored wooden blocks, arranged in a graduated formation: wider at the center and tapering towards the edges. This arrangement creates the illusion of a convex curve, despite the surface being completely flat. Godfried Lonis received his artistic training at De Vrije Academie in Amsterdam. In 1966, he created his very first mirrored object, which he submitted to the art show De Haagse Salon, where it won first prize. Shortly afterward, he joined Gallery Orez, alongside fellow 'The Hague Neo-Constructivists' such as Jan Schoonhoven and Lon Pennock. After participating in several group exhibitions, Lonis became affiliated with the renowned Galerie Nouvelles Images. Lonis experimented within the realm of Op Art by applying mathematical rhythms to mirrored surfaces and contrasting colors to wooden panels. This particular work is highly representative of his approach: minimal in its use of materials, yet conceptually rich — playing smartly with volume and perception to create a striking optical illusion, as if the panel is bowl-shaped. Signed at the back: Objekt 29, 1976, Lonis. In excellent, authentic condition, with characteristic age-related wear to the mirrors.
