This month’s update features some of the stunning and original Op Art work of Orang Vahid.

Originally working with a pen, paper, a ruler and a compass, Orang has been creating Op Art – or as he calls it ‘Geometric Art’ – for over 20 years. When he started to use computers and in particular Microsoft’s ‘Word’ application in his academic work, Orang was curious to find out what else the software was capable of, particularly the ‘Draw’ utility. Several years on and it is fair to say that he has mastered that utility; incredibly all of Orang’s work displayed here was created within the minimalistic ‘Draw’ environment of Microsoft Word. To get an understanding of how Orang achieves this please see here and here.

We are very much looking forward to displaying more of Orang’s work in the near future. In the meanwhile, if you would like to see more, you can find some on his flickr stream.

A series of absolutely stunning and mesmerising Op Art animations from bilingual and ‘bi-cultural’ Hungarian / German graphic designer David Szakaly aka Davidope.  Click on the animations below to see the full size version (if you can handle it..!)

David is the is founder and creative director and founder of Volll studio, based in Budapest, Hungary, where he lives with his pet dachshund Susie.  Volll was founded in 2003 and the studio has created a number of stunning sites and designs for clients including Renault, BMW, Ariel (Procter & Gamble) and Audi.

You can see more of David’s beautiful and inspiring work on his website, Davidope.com.  You can also find his work on his Tumblr site.

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.

The latest artist to display their work in the gallery is Matt W. Moore.  Matt is the founder of MWM Graphics, a Design and Illustration Studio based in Portland, Maine.

Matt works across disciplines, from colorful digital illustrations in his signature “Vectorfunk” style, to freeform canvas paintings, and massive murals.

He exhibits his artwork in galleries all around the world – since 2008 Matt has had solo exhibitions in Spain, France, the UK, the US, and Brazil – and collaborates with clients in all sectors.

Matt is also Co-Founder & Designer for Glyph Cue Clothing.

The newest additions to the gallery come from a series of Op Art works by the German digital artist Marco Braun.

Marco works primarily in Photoshop and uses digital pictures of grids or lines wich he transforms with filters to create his works.

Marco is a huge fan of Flickr and is very active on the site.  You can see more of Marco’s Op Art work, his other photos and artwork on his Flickr stream.
