About the Artist
Bridget Riley is one of the most significant and influential British artists, a pioneering figure in the Op Art movement. Renowned for her mesmerizing abstract paintings, Riley's work is characterized by meticulously arranged geometric forms, lines, and colors that create dynamic optical illusions and a powerful sense of movement. Her rigorous practice is deeply rooted in the scientific exploration of perception, challenging the viewer's eye and mind through the interplay of repetition, rhythm, and chromatic vibration. Riley's art is a testament to the profound psychological and physiological effects of color and form, inviting a purely optical and immersive engagement that transcends mere representation.
