Screen printing, hand-signed and numbered // Blue Streak by Otto Piene, a limited-edition screen print from 1980, exemplifies the artist's exploration of light, color, and dynamic energy. The composition centers on a radiant black circular form with swirling edges, evoking a sense of motion or combustion. From its center, a striking, straight line of intense blue descends, creating a stark contrast against the muted, ochre-toned background. Piene’s minimalist approach emphasizes the interaction between light and dark, stillness and movement, giving the work an almost cosmic or elemental quality. This piece invites reflection on themes of energy, creation, and the ethereal nature of light.

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.
