“In Deep Prayer” is an abstract artwork created by artist Yaacov Agam, who is associated with the Op Art movement. The artwork is distinguished by its intricate arrangement of vertical lines and vibrant colors.
The artwork presents an optical illusion with its series of vertical lines varying in colors, from dark oranges to bright yellows, and greens to blues. The central area appears to generate a radiating white light, giving the impression of depth. The interplay of colors seems to shift as one gazes at different sections, compelling the viewer to engage with the visual dynamism and rhythmic quality of the piece. The meticulous alignment and color transitions evoke a sense of contemplation and serenity, which is fitting for its title “In Deep Prayer.” The composition of vertical lines and contrasting hues draws viewers deeply into an immersive experience, characteristic of the Op Art movement.
