op art
Denis Juneau, born in 1925, was a prominent artist of the OP art scene in the 1960s in Montreal. After his studies in Italy, harmony and balance became essential to him and his mastery of them can be found in most of his work whether it be in the colors, the shapes or the general composition. He has recieved multiple awards and has exhibited his artwork in a great many cities including New York, Paris, London, Brussels and of course his hometown of Montreal.
Tasked with creating a promotional video for a potential exhibition “OP ART, The Vibrant Years 1960-1975” at the MAC, I decided to simplify his works to the elements he most often uses. The majority of Denis Juneau’s works are created with two contrasting colors and overlapping or repeated circles so it was only natural to recreate the same feel.
