  • Jesús Rafael Soto (June 5, 1923 - January 14, 2005) was a Venezuelan artist. He was a sculptor and painter and is most famous for his op art and kinetic art works. He was born in Ciudad Bolívar, Venezuela. He began his artistic career as a boy painting cinema posters in his native city. He received his artistic training in Caracas. He directed the Escuela de Artes Plasticas in Maracaibo from 1947 to 1950, when he left for Paris and began associating with Yaacov Agam, Jean Tinguely, Victor Vasarely, and other artists connected with the Salon des Realites Nouvelles and the Galerie Denise Rene. He became world-famous as a kinetic sculptor. Soto is particularly well known for his penetrables, interactive sculptures which consist of square arrays of thin, dangling tubes through which observers can walk. It has been said of Soto's art that it is inseparable from the viewer; it can only stand completed in the illusion perceived by the mind as a result of observing the piece. From 1970 until the early 1990s, Soto's works appeared in places such as the Museum of Modern Art and Guggenheim Museum in New York City, as well as the Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris.
