Part of the "Desire" series, "Mateo Blanco's...Madonnas are exciting new additions to his op art practice. They escape the gaze and are only partially visible behind an intricately cut wooden screen. The work can only be fully perceived in motion and in stages, turning a seemingly traditional 2D artwork into an experiential piece of kinetic art. The result is both mesmerizing and electrifying and adds to the aura of an already incredible icon," Coralie Claeysen-Gleyzon, Associate Curator, Orlando Museum of Art
