The exhibition had were inspired by scientific colour theories from the impressionists  onwards such as Georges Seurat, where the viewers perception created the colours.

This interest in perception during the 20th century extended to movement and colour, which was intensified in the 1950s and 1960s in what came to be known as ‘Op Art’ and ‘Kinetic Art’ where sensations viewing the artwork were heightened. These artists were know as Victor Vasarely, Bridget Riley, Jeffrey Steele and Peter Sedgley.

Their legacy of these artist such as Carlos Cruz-Diez, Jim Lambie and Sara Moorhouse, will not only be representative of the era but will hold right up to the present. Inspiring future generations and talent.
