This print by M.C. Escher, titled 'Whirlpools', features two intertwined spirals of stylised fish in red and grey, creating a captivating optical illusion.
Maurits Cornelis Escher (1898-1972) was a Dutch graphic artist known for his mathematically inspired woodcuts, lithographs, and mezzotints. His work explores concepts of infinity, symmetry, and tessellation, often incorporating impossible constructions and optical illusions. Escher's art gained popularity among scientists and mathematicians, as well as the general public, for its intellectual and visual appeal. He created a unique artistic language that continues to fascinate and inspire. 'Whirlpools' presents a captivating optical illusion. The image depicts two intertwined spirals, each composed of stylised fish. One spiral features red fish, while the other contains grey fish. The fish are arranged in a repeating pattern that creates a sense of depth and movement, drawing the viewer's eye towards the centre of each spiral. The composition plays with positive and negative space, as the fish from each spiral interlock to form a continuous, flowing design. The stark contrast between the red, grey, and white enhances the visual impact of the artwork, contributing to its overall sense of dynamism and illusion.

Beautiful print, great quality and love it with the white frame. Delivery was really fast. I've had loads of compliments from visitors as I've hung it in my hallway as the first thing you see when you enter the house. Couldn't be happier.

Failed his architecture exams, found Moorish tile patterns at the Alhambra, and became the most mathematically inventive printmaker of the century without any maths training.
