Press Release

Discover the joyful work of Argentinian-born Julio Le Parc, a leading figure in contemporary art. Colourful and seductive, this immersive exhibition celebrates the visionary work of Julio Le Parc. Featuring his iconic interactive installations, striking sculptures, and large-scale op art paintings, the show spans an extraordinary career from the 1950s to the 2010s.

Best known for his pioneering kinetic sculptures, which use light, movement and mirrored surfaces to playfully draw in the viewer, the show also explores the depth and diversity of Le Parc’s talent, revealing him to be a politically engaged artist and highly skilled painter with a passion for colour.

Born in Argentina in 1928, Le Parc moved to France in 1958, where he settled. He was part of the vibrant artistic scene of 1960s Paris, a time of radical innovation and boundless creativity, but always maintained strong connections to Latin America. His story offers a fascinating insight into the evolving practise of an artist endlessly experimenting with dynamic visual effects.

Julio Le Parc is presented in the George Economou Gallery. Supported by Tate Members.
