Original Signed Artworks & Limited Edition Prints For Sale

Working extensively in Kinetic and Optical art, Walter Le Blanc is celebrated for his work with the Torsion technique – on both canvas and sculpture, the artist would tighten and twist such materials as painted cotton threads and plastic ribbons over a traditional support to create simple geometric shapes and ray-like patterns that produced the illusion of movement.

Twisted Strings is just one among many examples of the aforementioned technique – this particular piece was comprised of string, black latex paint and canvas and was a study of the interplay between light and surface. Leblanc worked and exhibited with the ZERO group and in the latter part of his career began to created sculptural 3D archetypes by nesting primary geometric shapes of circles, quadrangles and triangles.

Artwork by Jesus Rafael Soto

What is kinetic art?

International movement referring to both apparent and real motion of art created in the 1920s and 1960s. It is explained as art emerging from any medium containing some movement that depends on motion for effect or can be perceived by the viewer. Canvas paintings are some of the notable and earliest examples of this art type. Speaking pertinently, kinetic art today refers to 3 dimensional figures and sculptures such as those operated by machines or those that move naturally. It encompasses a variety of styles and techniques that overlap.
