THE ARTWORK
In Antonio Asis’s Cercles, a grid of nine circular elements organises the surface through repetitions and differences. Red, black and light rings interact through small shifts of position and thickness, changing how the eye perceives each circle’s depth.
The regular structure makes the whole immediately recognisable, yet closer observation reveals its variations. Movement arises from the interaction of contrasts and the continuity of intervals, although no element actually moves. The small format concentrates this optical experience within an essential, precise surface.
