Bridget Riley (1931 –)
Bridget Riley (1931-present) es una pionera del Op Art, conocida por sus vibrantes pinturas geométricas que desafían la percepción visual y exploran las ilusiones ópticas. Su obra revolucionaria sigue inspirando a artistas y diseñadores.
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.
