Aubrey Suzanne Bonds
Artist Statement
My work is a journey into the wonderful world of Op Art. It is a series of colorful and mind-bending illusions. Throughout the series I explore numerous color combinations, textures, patterns, and shapes.
My influences are the great Bridget Riley who was the leading lady of Op Art in the 60s and Robert Dumas who created Hermès Éditeur. These artists pushed the boundaries of their time and made works of art that were truly captivating. I created this poster series entirely with Adobe Illustrator. I wanted to push the limits of my imagination and really go after a modern Op Art vibe. I used bright, vivid colors against black and white stripes or dots or squares to get the unorthodox illusions that I was aiming for. Throughout the year this series has taught me so much about what I am capable of and in it, I have found my passion. |
