From SotoMagie series - Silkscreen on plexiglass - Signed and numbered on a label affixed to the reverse // Rafael Jesus Soto’s Sotomagie II is an engaging mixed-media sculpture that explores the interaction between form, light, and perception. Part of the Sotomagie series, this piece uses Plexiglas and features a dynamic composition of intersecting diagonal lines, dots, and geometric patterns. Silkscreened in black, white, red, and yellow, the lines and shapes seem to shift and vibrate as the viewer changes their angle of perception, creating an optical illusion of movement. Soto's mastery in kinetic and optical art is evident as he transforms simple geometric patterns into an immersive, dynamic experience. The layers of Plexiglas add depth to the composition, further enhancing the illusion of three-dimensionality and movement. Signed and numbered on the reverse, Sotomagie II exemplifies Soto’s exploration of space, perception, and visual vibration, inviting the viewer to actively engage with the artwork.

What is kinetic art?
Kinetic art is an international movement that emerged in the 1920s and gained prominence in the 1960s, referring to art that involves both apparent and real motion. It encompasses any medium that includes movement, either relying on actual motion for its effect or being perceived as moving by the viewer. Early examples include canvas paintings designed to create optical illusions of movement. Today, kinetic art often refers to three-dimensional figures and sculptures, such as those operated by machines or those that move naturally. The movement covers a variety of styles and techniques that frequently overlap.
