Bridget Riley (1931-) ist eine Pionierin der Op-Art mit ihren dynamischen, geometrischen Gemälden, die unsere Wahrnehmung herausfordern und die Grenzen zwischen Realität und Illusion verschwimmen lassen. Eine bahnbrechende Künstlerin!

Riley is often associated with the Op Art movement of the mid-1960s, characterized by simple lines and forms, usually in repetitive patterns, that create illusion of movement. She arrived at Elysium’s optical effect by doing rigorous work in 1973 with exquisite small-scale maquettes to explore the interplay of red, blue, and green alternating with white. Personal circumstances forestalled for three decades her exact translation of these studies into the final large-scale painting, in which vertical stripes in a perfectly calibrated sequence emanate a rolling but controlled vibration of colored light. Elysium is a modern evocation of the paradise invoked by its title, an abstract interpretation of the pastoral.
