Title: Brian Rice Flasher 1967 Signed Silkscreen Limited Edition Op Art.
This signed silkscreen limited edition artwork by Brian Rice, titled "Flasher," is a testament to the artist's luminous and hard-edged abstract style, which garnered significant national and international acclaim during the 1960s. Rice's paintings and prints quickly gained attention and found their way into prestigious international collections.
While the pop art icons of the 1950s and 1960s were influential during that era, Rice drew inspiration from the De Stijl movement and European Constructivists of the 1920s and 1930s. These roots of inspiration shaped Rice's artistic vision, leading to his distinctive abstract style characterized by vibrant colors and sharp edges.
However, by the mid-1970s, Rice became disillusioned with both his artistic output and the general art world. Seeking solace, he retreated to the West Country and redirected his focus towards farming and teaching.
The "Flasher" silkscreen limited edition artwork, created in 1967 and signed by the artist, exemplifies Rice's artistic brilliance within the Op Art movement. Its vibrant colors, geometric shapes, and optical illusions create a captivating visual experience. This artwork represents a significant piece of Rice's oeuvre and is a valuable addition to any collection, showcasing his mastery of the abstract genre and his impact on the art world of the 1960s.
