A powerful vibrant display of paintings, which will span more than 50 years in the career of the celebrated British artist Bridget Riley, is to open at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art this spring. Bridget Riley is one of the most significant and influential artists working today. Born in London in 1931, her experiments with optical movement in painting, which date from the early 1960s, gained her an international reputation. For several years Riley worked exclusively in black and white before introducing colour in the mid-late 1960s. The important dialogue between these two aspects of her work is at the heart of the selection of the paintings in this display. Adeline Amar in front of Vespertino
