These iconic compositions of complex, skewed angles and radiant, tonal color allude to the multiple narratives coursing through the history of modernist painting, from the utopian vision of Russian Constructivism to the hallucinatory images of Op Art.

Pieces such as Movement in Squares (1961) by Bridget Riley demonstrates the intricate and beguiling surfaces of Op Art, alongside Richard Smith's Trio (1963), an evocative image that sits between abstraction and representation.

In addition, some black - and - white Op Art pieces cause viewers to see after - images — colored shapes created by our brain based on signals the eyes send, but do not in fact perceive.

As a child, Whiteread's two favourite images — printed on postcards she still has — were of Bridget Riley op art and Anthony Caro's groundbreaking 1962 sculpture Early One Morning.

The most significant of the often loosely defined movements of early contemporary art included pop art, characterized by commonplace imagery placed in new aesthetic contexts, as in the work of such figures as Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein; the optical shimmerings of the international op art movement in the paintings of Bridget Riley, Richard Anusziewicz, and others; the cool abstract images of color - field painting in the work of artists such as Ellsworth Kelly and Frank Stella (with his shaped - canvas innovations); the lofty intellectual intentions and stark abstraction of conceptual art by Sol LeWitt and others; the hard - edged hyperreality of photorealism in works by Richard Estes and others; the spontaneity and multimedia components of happenings; and the monumentality and environmental consciousness of land art by artists such as Robert Smithson.

Deftly creating dynamic illusions of depth and space on a two - dimensional surface, Grotjhan makes reference to various points in the history of painting, from Renaissance linear perspective, to the utopian shapes and visions of early 20th century Russian Constructivism, to the hallucinatory images of 1960s Op Art.

Often considered the «grandfather» of Op Art, French - Hungarian artist Victor Vasarely began creating mind - bending paintings as early as the 1930s, leveraging his studies of science, color, and optics to produce images that seemed to move, swell, or change forms.

Hard - edge painting was only one of them: others included Colour Field, Colour Stain Painting, Op Art, Washington Colour Painting, «One - Image painting», «Systemic painting» (Josef Albers), Lyrical Abstraction, Bay Area Figuration and Minimal Painting.

Some of his paintings, which appear at first glance to be Op art — esque abstractions, use images directly from pop culture: Mainframe (all works 2013), for example, displays the artist's penchant for sci - fi refulgence as it visually mimics a backdrop from Stanley Kubrick's seminal 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968).

Artists representing various movements and geographical backgrounds are all there: Cubist, Dada, and Russian avant - garde artists of the 1910s and 1920s, with their images of flat, intersecting planes and floating shapes; artists associated with Minimalism, Op art, and hard - edge abstraction in the 1960s and 1970s, whose primary interest lay in the investigation of reductive form and color; and contemporary artists who continue to exploit the infinite potential of simple geometries.

Approaching Op Art, carefully rendered three - dimensional abstract objects (segments) combine together on a grey ground to make an image that is more than the sum of its parts, appearing to generate light as much as reflect it.
