Ludovico Pignotti

Ludovico Pignotti was an Italian artist and a pioneer of the Op Art movement, active mainly in the 1960s. His work focused on optical illusions and visual experimentation, creating images that challenge the viewer’s perception through patterns, contrasts, and movement effects. Pignotti explored how simple graphic elements could produce dynamic, sometimes disorienting, perceptual experiences. His innovative approach contributed to a deeper understanding of visual perception and the ways art can engage viewers’ senses. Pignotti's work remains influential in abstract and experimental art, emphasizing the interaction between image and viewer.
