What is Op Art?
Op Art (or Optical Art) is all about repetition and surface. It's about creating the illusion of movement and depth on a 2D surface using repeating patterns of shapes and colour.
Op Art was pioneered by artists like Bridget Riley and Victor Vasarely in the 1960's and came to public attention after an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York in 1965 called "The Responsive Eye".
