A captivating exhibition featuring the enigmatic paintings of Bridget Riley is currently on display at the Gemeentemuseum Den Haag. The large, hypnotic canvasses showcase intricate waves of vibrant color patterns that draw the viewer in. Riley’s art is one that requires time and exposure to truly appreciate. It was in the early sixties when her art career took flight, heavily influenced by renowned artist Vasarely. In no time, she emerged as one of the leaders of the op-art movement, and in 1965 she had her first major exhibition at the MOMA in New York. She was also prominently featured in the prestigious RESPONSIVE EYE exhibition. In the years since, she has honed her craft and developed a highly distinct style, diverging from traditional op-art techniques. Today, her name evokes immediate recognition in art circles. The Gemeentemuseum Den Haag has a special connection with Riley, having hosted an impressive exhibition of her works a decade ago. An exclusive leperello was published in conjunction with the event and is still available at www.ftn-books.com.
