The Far Far Gallery in Cropredy, near Banbury, is hosting "Bridget Riley: Clarity," an exhibition of print works by pioneering contemporary artist Bridget Riley, running from June 13 to August 22. Curated by veteran gallerist Benjamin Parsons, the show spans Riley's career from early Op Art to recent pieces, offering local audiences a rare chance to see her work close to home.
The exhibition matters because it brings world-class contemporary art to a rural Oxfordshire community, challenging the concentration of major shows in big cities. It provides accessible engagement with Riley's six-decade exploration of perception and abstraction, benefiting families, school groups, and local art enthusiasts who might otherwise need to travel to London.
