Gerard Boersma (1976) - Lines (painting of a woman enjoying an op art painting by Bridget Riley)- No Reserve

Gerard Boersma is known for his paintings of people in museums looking at famous paintings.

This work of 40 x 20 cm shows a woman enjoying a painting by Bridget Riley. Riley is a renowned British painter and a leading figure in the 1960s Op Art (Optical Art) movement, famous for creating abstract geometric paintings. Her work uses precise, repeating, and often vibrating patterns—like stripes, curves, and dots—to engage the viewer's eye, making static, two-dimensional canvases appear to move, flicker, or shimmer.

The work dates from 2026 and is made with acrylic on panel. Signed on the back and comes with a label of the artist as well as a Certificate Of Authenticity.
