Bridget Riley at The National Gallery

Begins on the 24th November. Riley is an iconic artist of our time and of immense personal inspiration. Her prints are a wonder of colour, pattern and psychedelic geometry that leads the eye and mind to leaps of complex trickery, builds momentum and executes with pleasant surprises. The artist and the gallery have a deep affiliation and i anticipate the work to look at home but newly decorated on the walls of the National.

The Exhibition is on until May 2011. Pleasure your eyes with illusion and experience up close and personal.

UPDATE: A film accompanying the exhibition, which is awakening to see in the walls of the Pre Raphaelite surroundings of The National Gallery, is definitely worth seeing and taking note of. It goes into the depths of practice and the tenacious searching it takes for Riley to complete a work. An incredibly insightful piece of film, terribly English in its dated narration, but moving and eye opening. And charismatic i suppose.
