white polyvinyl tape on painted panel in a box of the artist. Year ca. 1963–1971. Published: N. Leblanc, D. Everarts de Velp-Seynaeve, Walter Leblanc, Catalogue raisonné, Bruxelles, 1997, No. 564, p. 201. // PF 657 by Walter Leblanc, created around 1963–1971, is a mixed media artwork featuring white polyvinyl tape meticulously arranged on a painted panel. This piece exemplifies Leblanc's commitment to kinetic and optical art, where the interplay of light and shadow creates a dynamic, pulsating visual effect. The arrangement of the white strips forms a series of narrow, elongated diamond shapes that appear to shift as the viewer changes perspective. By using simple materials and a monochromatic palette, Leblanc achieves a sense of movement and depth, challenging perceptions of space and form. This work invites viewers to engage with its optical illusion, exploring how minimalistic elements can produce complex, engaging visual experiences.

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.
