Blaze 1 1962

Bridget Riley's "Blaze 1" from 1962 is a prime example of Op Art, a movement that explored optical illusions and the effects of color and pattern on the eye. This black and white artwork features a hypnotic circular pattern of zigzags that appear to spiral inward, creating a sense of depth and movement. The repetitive nature of the design and the stark contrast of black and white create a visually stimulating experience, showcasing the artistic potential of geometric abstraction. "Blaze 1" is currently on display at the Scottish National Gallery in Edinburgh, UK.
