Don’t miss this huge, dazzling abstract painting by one of Britain’s greatest artists.

Bridget Riley came to prominence in the early 1960s with her black and white Op Art works. She introduced colour into her paintings in the late 1960s, first using coloured greys and then pure colour like in Rise I.

Visual sensation is at the heart of Riley’s work, which is inspired by nature even though her painting is completely abstract.
