Martin Schuster is the latest Op Artist to be featured in the gallery.

Martin initially started creating Op Art in the 1960s and after a long break has rediscovered his love of the style and has picked up where he left off.

Martin does not work within the digital medium; instead, he works with pen and ink on archival Bristol and uses traditional straightedge, ruler and compass for construction, augmented with handmade sine wave ‘rulers’ made from composite board sanded to different dimensions.

Martin is presently investigating variations on themes, changing both line type and spacing to produce new effects.
