Bridget Riley
Bridget Riley(Born 1931)
Bridget Riley is an English painter who is one of the foremost exponents of Op art.
She attended Cheltenham Ladies' College (1946–1948) and then studied art at Goldsmiths College (1949–52), and later at the Royal College of Art (1952–55).
Her early work was figurative with a semi-impressionist style. Between 1958 and 1959 her work at the J. Walter Thompson advertising agency showed her adoption of a style of painting based on the pointillist technique. 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 and produces movement and color.
She currently lives and works in London, Cornwall and the Vaucluse in France.
