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".

On this site you can find out everything about Op Art. You can read about the main artists and see examples of their work, download pictures from the gallery including free Op Art iPhone wallpapers and upload and share your own Op Art artwork. We've recently added an Op Art Shop selling Op Art Posters and Op Art Books
