Collection: Jesús Rafael Soto

A prominent figure in the Op Art and Kinetic Art movements, was born on June 5, 1923, in Ciudad Bolívar, Venezuela, and he passed away on January 14, 2005. Soto's artistic journey was characterized by his innovative exploration of optical illusions and movement. His works often featured meticulously arranged geometric shapes and lines that created dynamic visual experiences for viewers. Soto's commitment to engaging the viewer in an interactive encounter with art set him apart as a visionary artist.

Soto's use of materials was as inventive as his concepts.

He employed materials such as Plexiglas and nylon threads to create sculptures and installations that seemed to vibrate with energy. His art challenged traditional notions of static art, inviting viewers to become active participants in the artistic process. His legacy continues to inspire artists and scholars alike, as his work transcended boundaries and enriched the discourse on the intersection of art and perception.
