Watchful Four - Black and White Op Art with Red

A horizontal abstract of four matching rounded panels, each filled with nested black and white curved bands that circle two small red ovals. The panels are mirrored in a two-by-two grid, separated by a silvery gray cross and surrounded by a deep red border. The contrast is stark and graphic.

Someone wants this piece because it is a strict black, white and red geometric that still feels alive. Nested bands curve toward a pair of red ovals in each of four mirrored panels. The panels can read as four watchful eyes or as targets, and the optical pull lingers after you look away. Most black-and-white op art is a pattern. This one has a focal point and a stare, inside a deep red frame.
