Opt



While i was in Paris, i took the opportunity to go and see Bridget Riley's retrospective show at the Musée d’Art moderne de la Ville de Paris.
As i'm usually pretty keen on the Opt art aesthetics, i got absolutely amazed by Riley's work that i only knew in surface. The show presents her work in a chronological order and following each step of her art through various explanations about her choices is a real bliss. Even though my favorite bit would be the early black and white period, the entire path through her graphic and intelectual research is remarkable.

Hey her work is simply amazing, I never heard of her but it reminds me of works by Remy Peignot from the book Typoesie.
