Bridget Riley

Bridget Louise Riley was born on the 24th of April, 1931 in Norwood, England. Riley is an English painter who is one of the foremost exponents of Op Art. She currently lives and works in London, Cornwall, and France. The main central ideas she uses in her work is line. I believe her work is very abstract by the way she makes an illusion from her work that plays a trick on the mind making you think her pieces moves. The thing that appeals to me is how her work is very clean with smooth nice lines. I also like the way she has made illusions out of her work. I also find it interesting how she was apart of a movements of art. The types of materials she uses is acrylic paints, oils and screen prints. Her work reminds me of waves in a way but also illusions.
