Bridget Riley is a British painter born in London in 1931. She is known for her Op Art style, which uses geometric shapes and optical illusions to create dynamic and visually stimulating works of art. Riley studied at Goldsmiths College and the Royal College of Art in London, where she was influenced by the works of Georges Seurat and Piet Mondrian. In the 1960s, she began experimenting with black and white patterns, creating works that appeared to move and vibrate. Her work has been exhibited in major museums and galleries around the world, including the Museum of Modern Art in New York and the Tate Gallery in London. Riley has received numerous awards and honors for her contributions to the art world, including the Order of Merit in 2003 and the Praemium Imperiale in 2003. Today, she continues to create new works of art and inspire generations of artists with her innovative approach to painting.
