Silkcreen on Fabriano Rosaspina paper. Signed and dated with pencil on the lower right, numbered on the left. Issued by Plura Edizioni. // This silkscreen by François Morellet presents one of the artist's signature Trame compositions, featuring two superimposed systems of fine parallel lines — one horizontal, one diagonal — intersecting in delicate red across the center of a pristine white field. The resulting pattern creates a subtle optical vibration that exemplifies Morellet's lifelong investigation into the relationship between mathematical systems and visual perception. Conceived in 1957 and executed as a silkscreen on Fabriano Rosaspina paper, the work demonstrates the artist's pioneering role in European geometric abstraction and kinetic art, predating many of the Op Art experiments that would follow.

What is ‘light and space’?
The Light and Space Movement refers to loosely affiliated art movements connected to minimalism, geometric abstraction, and op art that originated in Southern California in the 1960s. Greatly influenced by artist John McLaughlin, these artists focused on sensory phenomena such as light, perception, and space as central elements of their work. They also incorporated cutting-edge technologies from the aerospace and engineering industries to develop light-filled and sensuous objects, creating immersive experiences that emphasize the viewer's perception.
