	Bridget Riley: Paintings - An Overview Of Her Art
		Bridget Riley was born in 1931 at Norwood, London, the daughter of a businessman.
		Riley is acclaimed as one of the finest exponents of Op Art, with her subtle variations in size, shape and position of blocks within the overall pattern.
		Riley is fascinated with the act of looking and in her work aims to engage the viewer not only with the object of their gaze but also with the actual process of observation.

		Bridget Riley has always had a singular vision - now the rest of the world may finally be catching up.
		In February 1965, Riley was in a car on her way from the airport to the Museum of Modern Art in New York, where she was one of the stars of a big multi-artist survey.
		Riley has always hated it when people say her works are hard on the eyes or create optical illusions, because it implies that they're just tricks - once seen, no longer interesting.

		Riley fought against the subsumption of her works on another front, as well: she took legal action against the appropriation of her patterns in fashion and art –; unfortunately, however, in vain.
		Bridget Riley, as has been said, is not concerned with unmoving surfaces, but with dynamics: "For me nature is not landscape, but the dynamism of visual forces – an event rather than an appearance.
		At the beginning of her career, Bridget Riley's status in the art world was still a matter of controversy.

	Bridget Riley and Op Art
		Bridget Riley (1931) is a well-known British artist celebrated since the mid-1960s for her distinctive, optically vibrant paintings, called “Op Art.”; She explores optical phenomena and juxtaposes color either by using a chromatic technique of identifiable hues or by selecting achromatic colors (fl, white or gray).
		Riley’s vibrant optical pattern paintings, which she painted in the 1960s, were hugely popular and become a hallmark of the period.
		Riley works meticulously, carefully mixing her colors to achieve the exact hue and intensity she desires.

		Riley explained that she now needed to distance herself from brush and paint in order not to fall in to the trap of formula, to be able to work out the mathematics of new motifs and move her vision along.

		Bridget Riley has long been the country's leading exponent of Op art, the school of art that exploits optical phenomena so that a work appears to flicker, pulsate or move.
		Riley painted in an impressionistic style after studying art at Goldsmith's College and the Royal College of Art (1949-1955), but in the late 1950s she was attracted by the pointillist work of the French neo-impressionist painter Georges Seurat.

		Over the past decade, the narrow stripes of Bridget Riley's previous paintings have given way to sweeping patterns of curvilinear shapes that sometimes suggest stylized leaf forms.
		In the other, similarly patterned oils, the lighter colors of Evoe 1 are replaced with an acidic yellow or a lime green and the deep blue with either a purple or a mauve.
		Riley's gouaches are much more than just preparatory sketches for the oils (which are painted by assistants, as has long been Riley's practice).
