Aquatinta, Carborundum etching // Zyklop Gelb by Otto Piene, created in 1984, is a striking example of the artist's experimental approach to printmaking. Utilizing carborundum etching and aquatint, this limited edition print (from an edition of 30) features a large, surreal, eye-like form in a mix of yellow and black tones against a rich, deep blue background. The image evokes the mythical Cyclops, with a gaze that seems to peer beyond the frame, merging organic textures with fantastical elements. Piene’s mastery of light and texture brings an intense, almost hypnotic quality to the composition. Measuring 76 cm by 108 cm, the work captures a fusion of abstraction and symbolism, typical of Piene’s exploration of cosmic and elemental themes.

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.
