Bridget Riley at The National Gallery

David and I were really thrilled to be invited to the opening of Bridget's show at the Sunley Room in the National Gallery.

The exhibition traces her personal connection with selected paintings in the gallery's collection.  They are displayed alongside some of her own work, including a wall-drawing 'Composition with Circles', the maquette of which she was working on last summer here in Les Bassacs!

It was a very exciting evening for us and moving to see the drawing so exquisitely executed on the walls of the National Gallery; particularly to take in its dramatic scale.  Go and see it for yourself, the exhibition is free and open from 10am-6pm daily until 22nd May 2011
