WHAT IS OP ART?
A school of abstract art characterized by the use of geometric shapes and brilliant colors to create optical illusions, as of motion, and free the art of all but visual associations. Optical art is a method of painting concerning the interaction between illusion and picture plane, between understanding and seeing Op art works are abstract, with many of the better known pieces made in onlyblack and white. When the viewer looks at them, the impression is given of movement, hidden images, flashing and vibration, patterns, or alternatively, of swelling or warping.
BRIDGET RILEY WORK: MY PARAGRAPH
Bridget Riley was born in London and spent her childhood in Cornwall and Lincolnshire. She was educated at Chelenham Ladies' College. She studied art first at Goldsmiths College (1949–52), and later at the Royal College of Art (1952–55), where her fellow students included artists Peter Blake and Frank Auerbach. Her early work was figurative with a semi-impressionist style. Around 1960 she began to develop her signature Op Art style consisting of black and white geometric patterns that explore the dynamism of sight and produce a disorienting effect on the eye.
