Bridget Riley (1931 –)
Bridget Riley, figure majeure de l'Op Art, explore les illusions d'optique et les formes géométriques dynamiques. Ses peintures en noir et blanc captivent le regard et témoignent d'une exploration fascinante de la perception visuelle.
Riley is often associated with the Op Art movement of the mid-1960s, characterized by simple lines and forms, usually in repetitive patterns, that create illusion of movement. She arrived at Elysium’s optical effect by doing rigorous work in 1973 with exquisite small-scale maquettes to explore the interplay of red, blue, and green alternating with white. Personal circumstances forestalled for three decades her exact translation of these studies into the final large-scale painting, in which vertical stripes in a perfectly calibrated sequence emanate a rolling but controlled vibration of colored light. Elysium is a modern evocation of the paradise invoked by its title, an abstract interpretation of the pastoral.
