Bridget Riley is a British artist known for her singular Op Art paintings. Melding clean lines, color arrangements, and geometric precision she creates optically compelling visual effects, as seen in her work Cataract 3 (1967).

Riley’s use of gradients and variations in tone stems from her admiration for the Pointillist Georges Seurat. “The eye can travel over the surface in a way parallel to the way it moves over nature. It should feel caressed and soothed, experience frictions and ruptures, glide and drift,” she said of her work. “One moment, there will be nothing to look at and the next second the canvas seems to refill, to be crowded with visual events.” More »
