Carlos Cruz-Diez is a master of Op Art and is considered a key figure of the 20th century in the field of color theory. True to his words "Art and life cannot be separated because they are one and the same thing," the Venezuelan artist created many works and installations in public spaces. In these, he explores the effect of colors through movement, light influences, and optical perception phenomena.

“Carlos Cruz-Diez. Color in Motion” was the title of the exhibition at the Museum for Concrete Art Ingolstadt, in which the artist showed a cross-section of his works and color studies. The retrospective, specially created (light) installations, and a color labyrinth create a unique presentation of the artist.
