Concrete Art
Max Coor
Coloured Stripes in Motion (kinetic image). 2020. acrylic paint, wooden sticks and wooden strips on MDF board. 76.5 x 76.5 cm. Signed with stamp verso. - Overall very good and in immaculate condition. Precisely executed composition in bright colours, the effect fresh.
Max Coor's works combine classical principles of perceptual art with contemporary materials and techniques. Inspired by Concrete Art, Op Art and Kinetic Art, they challenge the viewer's perception time and again. In the tradition of Max Bill, who understood Concrete Art as an art of rational principles, Coor's works are based on clear geometric structures, mathematically founded orders and systematic colour design. The use of materials such as wood and aluminium and their precise arrangement in the form of rods, grids or reflective surfaces creates complex geometric patterns whose colours and shapes generate an apparent movement through contrast, context and spatial interweaving. These visual oscillations, which are created through the precise coordination of colour, form and surface, are reminiscent of the works of Victor Vasarely in their dynamism and spatial effect, but go beyond purely optical phenomena: Coor succeeds in creating a sensual spatiality that oscillates between surface and space, constantly renegotiating the boundaries between image and object. - The impressive effect, reminiscent of moiré and suggestive of movement, which emerges when looking at the work before us, is achieved by Max Coor in the form of differently coloured wooden sticks mounted on top of each other in two layers.
