Acrylic on panel. Unique work. Signed and dated to verso ‘Richard Anuszkiewicz 1975’. Soft Gray (1975) by Richard Anuszkiewicz is a unique acrylic on panel measuring 49.8 × 65.7 cm. A leading figure of the Op Art movement, Anuszkiewicz uses precise geometry and subtle shifts in color to create a vibrating sense of depth and optical rhythm. Here, a field of soft gray is punctuated by vertical linear elements that transition from turquoise to deep violet, producing a pulsating visual effect that seems to expand and contract as the eye moves across the surface. The work exemplifies Anuszkiewicz’s exploration of color interaction and perception, turning rigorous abstraction into a meditative yet dynamic experience.

What is geometric abstract art?
Geometric abstraction is a form of abstract art that uses geometric shapes arranged in a non-illusionistic space (though not always) and combined into non-representational (non-objective) compositions. Based on years of artistic research, some artists have proposed that geometric abstraction offers a solution to modern challenges by rejecting traditional illusionistic practices in favor of clarity and simplicity.
