Meaning & Analysis

This impression, combined with the evocation of movement within the lines, creates mesmerising effects, from which the label Op Art takes its name. Such optical illusions are typical of Riley’s work from the 1960s and are what propelled the artist to fame following their inclusion in the 1965 Museum of Modern Art exhibitions The Responsive Eye.

With a singular and instantly recognisable artistic style, Bridget Riley is renowned for her post-painterly approach to creating work. Employing a mathematical, precise technique, Riley capitalises strongly on optical illusion. Beginning her career painting subjects in a figurative, semi-impressionistic manner, Riley began to develop her signature style in the 1960s. Op Art - the style for which Riley would become well known, capitalises on optical illusions and geometric, visual phenomena.

  • Bridget Riley, a leading figure in the British Op-Art movement, has captivated audiences with her abstract paintings and prints that challenge visual perception. Born in London, 1931, Riley’s artistic journey evolved from semi-Impressionist beginnings to geometric mastery, significantly influencing modern art. Her groundbreaking artworks, from Movement In Squares to the vibrant Stripes series, explore optical phenomena and colour dynamics, creating mesmerising, dizzying effects. With a prolific career spanning over seven decades, Riley’s innovative designs and perceptual disruptions continue to shape contemporary British art, solidifying her enduring influence in the realm of abstract and modern art.
