Pink Lanscape - Relies on a lot ot of optical blending. Lines created by colour, density and placement of brush strokes.
First heard of Bridget Riley at the music in art exhibition at York Art Gallery, painting similar to this style:

'Inspired by nature and the way we see everything in relation to everything else'
'STRIPE PAINTINGS - some colours recede, some leap forward, creating harmony/decord. OSCILATE'
In York Gallery the painting 'Cloudy blue greens with pink and emerald thrusts' was a picture that was quite small scale so I didn't get the full effect, however Leeds Art Gallery had 'Winter Palace' which was an original on canvas, and good god was it memorising! I found as my eyes moved around the canvas, the ghost image of the previous snapshot overlapped the new one. If you get me. This drew me in even further and it genuinely took a lot of effort to look away.
