Polesello drew liberally from his background in graphic and commercial design in his early abstractions, adapting printing techniques—airbrushing, color transfer—to enhance the optical effects of light and color. Among Argentina’s leading exponents of Op art and geometric abstraction in the 1960s, he explored perceptual questions of transparency, multiplication, and movement across a range of work on paper and, later, acrylic surfaces. His method of building and patterning color is intrinsic to the screenprinting process, in which each pigment is applied separately, creating a multi-layered surface of variable chromatic densities and saturations.
