 Bridget Riley started painting in figure subjects in a semi-impressionist manner, then changed to pointillism around 1958, mainly producing landscapes. In 1960, she started to create 'Op-art' pieces, which produce a disorienting physical effect on the eye.

"Focusing isn't just an optical activity, it is also a mental one."

- Bridget Riley
