Mixed media on hardboard panel - Signed and dated 'Walter 58' - Catalogue raisonné nr. 128 bis Antwerp, painted in 1958 by Belgian artist Walter Leblanc, is a unique mixed media work on hardboard measuring 52 x 124 cm. The piece reflects Leblanc’s early interest in materiality and texture before he became widely associated with kinetic and ZERO art. Composed of earthy tones, blacks, and a striking strip of turquoise blue, the painting suggests an abstracted urban or industrial landscape. The layering of textures and gestural marks evokes motion and transformation, possibly alluding to post-war reconstruction in Antwerp. Signed and dated "Walter 58," the work is listed as number 128 bis in the artist’s catalogue raisonné.

What is Op Art?
Op Art is a visual art style that uses optical illusions to create the impression of movement, vibrating patterns, flashing, or hidden images. The works are typically abstract, with many well-known pieces in black and white. The roots of Op Art can be traced back to earlier movements like Futurism, Constructivism, Dada, and Neo-Impressionism, particularly in their use of color effects and graphic design.
