BRIDGET RILEY

If you're familiar with Op art, then you've heard of English painter Bridget Riley (b.1931 in South London - she's 82!) 

Op art = Optical art, a style of visual arts that uses optical illusions.  The term Op art was first seen in print in Time magazine in 1964 - although Op art is closely derived from the constuctivist practices of the Bauhaus (which dates back to 1919).

See two of her many pieces of  works below...
