With a career spanning over six decades, his work has left an indelible mark on the art world.
Le Parc’s early experiments with light and movement led him to become a key figure in the Optical Art and Kinetic Art movements. In the 1960s, Le Parc embrased the possibilities of optical illusions and visual perception as central elements in his artworks.
