Bridget Riley

Two Blues - Bridget Riley, 2003 - Oil on linen 54.5x53

Now in her late 70s Bridget Riley still continues to work. Exhibitions of her work are held all over the world – Sydney, Tokyo, New York, Zurich, London to mention just some of the cities where her work has been shown recently.
In 2007 there was an exhibition of fifteen paintings done between 2005 and 2006 at the Timothy Taylor Gallery in London. Again her images had changed; the shapes of the ‘lozenge’ paintings of the 1980s and 1990s swept across verticals but this time they were fluid arabesques in softer colours – blues, greens, lilacs and pale oranges.
Bridget Riley is a consistent innovator in her field who experiments constantly with new ideas that mark new departures. For this reason nobody can truly know what the future will bring in terms of her original and unique art, which is demanding both of herself and of those who see them.

i think the way Bridget riley plays around and experiments is cool i may use some of her line drawings in my future work to create a beautiful background.
