About the artwork
Optichromie 98 is part of the emblematic series developed by Felipe Pantone around light, the chromatic spectrum and visual speed. Produced in spray and UV ink on alui, the work exploits the reflective properties of the support to intensify optical effects and luminous variations. The composition articulates several visual registers: an iridescent spectral gradation evoking the diffraction of light, black and white screens inspired by digital grids and kinetic distortions, and a vertical chromatic band recalling colorimetric calibration codes. The whole creates a dialogue between geometric abstraction, digital aesthetics and the illusion of movement. The aluminum surface accentuates the technological dimension of the work, reinforcing its interaction with the environment and ambient light. At the crossroads of optical art, graffiti and digital culture, this piece fully embodies Pantone's research into contemporary image perception.
Expert opinion
Optichromie 98 is a significant example of Felipe Pantone's stylistic maturity in the late 2010s. The mastery of chromatic gradations, the precision of the geometric patterns and the innovative use of UV ink testify to advanced technical research and a constant desire to experiment. The square format of 150 × 150 cm lends the work a monumental presence, while preserving its formal rigor. Its uniqueness reinforces its interest on the market, all the more so as the works in this series are particularly sought-after for their ability to condense the artist's signature aesthetic. This piece is part of a key period of institutional and international recognition for Pantone, consolidating his place among the major figures of contemporary abstraction stemming from urban culture.
About the artist
Born in Buenos Aires in 1986, Felipe Pantone is an Argentinian-Spanish artist who lives and works in Valencia, Spain. Initially drawn to graffiti, he studied Fine Arts in Valencia, where he graduated. His artistic practice explores movement, transformation and the digital, standing at the junction between an analog past and a digital future. Felipe Pantone approaches contemporary subjects using a scientific prism, superimposing and repeating geometric shapes, optical patterns and light spectra to create a form of abstraction inspired by kinetic artists such as Victor Vasarely and Carlos Cruz-Diez. Following in the latter's footsteps, he takes on projects in public spaces, embellishing walls, vehicles and even barges. Exhibited in renowned institutions such as the Long Beach Museum in the USA and the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, his work has also found its way into galleries such as the Danysz Gallery in Paris and Shanghai, and the Underdogs Gallery in Lisbon.
