AS Art Edxcel Relationships Colour theory and relationships - Bridget Riley

Bridget Riley Op Art. Bridget Riley used the way our eyes work placing precisely placed and constructed lines together in such a way that if you stare at them movement is created.

Bridget Riley produced later paintings that looked at relationships between colours. But Mr Higgins loves these early monochrome paintings because the illusion of movement is created.
