Episode 2: Bridget Riley at the Hayward Gallery

Episode 2: Bridget Riley at The Hayward Gallery discussed by Vikki Kosmalska and Caz Murray on until the 26th of January. This episode we take on Op Art heavy weight Bridget Riley, best known for her meticulous geometric paintings where things are not what they seem. This exhibition somewhat divided opinion in team Artcast - are her paintings simply optical illusions that hurt your eyes or is there a deeper meaning in her work? Listen to us debate our different reactions and don't worry, unlike the current political climate we are in, we keep it civil! For Art News, we cover the recent announcement about the extensive refurbishment of The National Portrait Gallery and the potential impact of it’s upcoming 3 year closure.   Thank you so much for listening, if you like what you hear, please rate, review and subscribe!The Artcast love getting a bit of correspondence, so if you have any feedback or want to ask a question for the “Ask the Artcast’ feature, get in touch as helloartcast@gmail.com. DM of follow us on Instagram: @theartcastThank you, as always, to the incredible Nat Witts for our jingle, and to the brilliant Jonny Lennard for our editing.
