Walter Leblanc
Walter Leblanc (Belgium, 1932–1986) was a pivotal figure in European post-war art, renowned for his contributions to kinetic and optical art. A founding member of the Antwerp avant-garde group G58, he introduced the 'torsion' technique, twisting materials like cotton threads and metal to create dynamic works that engage light and movement. Leblanc's innovative approach earned him international recognition, with his works featured in major exhibitions and collections worldwide.

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.
