From the Gordes portfolio. Screenprint on white cardboard, signed and numbered in pencil. Sheet: 72 x 62 cm Image: 60 x 42 cm Published by Fondation Vasarely, Château de Gordes Printed by Arcay, Paris. Reference : Benavides 165 Gordes Kidio (1971) by Victor Vasarely is a compelling screenprint from his influential Gordes portfolio, which explores the visual language of geometric abstraction and optical illusion. Executed on white cardboard, the composition features a meticulously arranged structure of angular shapes and vivid color blocks, creating a dynamic interplay of perspective and depth. Vasarely employs a grid-based system to manipulate visual perception, generating a kinetic effect that appears to shift and pulsate as the viewer’s gaze moves across the surface. The work exemplifies his systematic approach to color theory and spatial distortion, inviting viewers into an active visual engagement with the piece. Hand-signed and numbered in an edition of 250, Gordes Kidio was published by the Fondation Vasarely in Château de Gordes and printed by Arcay in Paris. It stands as a quintessential example of Vasarely’s vision of art as a participatory optical 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.
