Blaze Study 1962

"Blaze Study" is a 1962 optical art, or Op art, work by British artist Bridget Riley. This black and white work depicts a circular composition of zigzagging lines. The lines are arranged in a spiral pattern that radiates outward from the center. This composition evokes a sense of movement and depth, challenging the viewer's perception of space. Riley’s works are known for their use of geometric shapes and bold colors to create optical illusions that play with the viewer's senses. Riley is a leading figure in the Op Art movement, which emerged in the 1960s.
