Bridget Riley
Bridget Riley is the leading exponent of Op Art, a movement that exploits the fallibility of human vision to create illusions of colour, form and movement.
Her works from the 1950s and 60s, which are often painstakingly produced, manipulated graphic patterns to trick the mind and the eye. Sensations of dizziness, lurching movement, and even mild nausea may all be felt after prolonged viewing.
There is something endlessly fascinating about Riley's work, but it's never quite clear whether producing each piece is really therapeutic or just incredibly tedious.
