Fifteen portrait drawings by Bridget Riley made during her time as a student at Goldsmiths are on show at the National Portrait Gallery
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.
These early works will hopefully offer a greater understanding to Riley's endlessly fascinating art and her more mature works.
Until 05.12.10
