ART-020 John Pacovsky — "Victor Vasarely: Vega 200" Absente Campaign, Michel Roux Provenance, 36" × 28"

The fourth in Paul's remarkable collection of John Pacovsky Absente paintings from the Michel Roux estate — "Victor Vasarely: Vega 200", an original acrylic illustration on canvas paying homage to the Op Art master. Created for the Absente liqueur advertising campaign and published in Absente: Images and Taste of the Green Fairy (Absente V LLC, 2008). Signed lower right. From the estate of Michel Roux (1940–2019).

A Grande Absente bottle stands at the center of a vibrant field of red, blue, and green geometric patterns directly referencing Vasarely's signature optical style — while a green absinthe fairy hovers in the top left, introducing surreal counterpoint to the dynamic, pulsating composition.
