Bridget's Blockhouse Blues Artwork - Limited Edition of 50

In this captivating artwork, Dex Hannon pays homage to the iconic Op-Art style pioneered by renowned artist Bridget Riley, while simultaneously exploring the architectural heritage of Blyth, Northumberland. The title itself, a nod to Riley's mesmerizing Op-Art paintings, sets the stage for a visual journey that challenges perceptions of stability and disorientation. At the heart of this piece lies the Blyth Blockhouse, a tangible relic of the Second World War that once stood as a bastion of defense, safeguarding the port during times of conflict. Through a meticulous process of photographic documentation, Hannon captures the essence of this historical landmark, preserving its rugged beauty for posterity. Yet, it is in the realm of digital manipulation and animation that Hannon's artistic vision truly flourishes. The photographs of the Blockhouse undergo a metamorphosis, as they are animated, overlaid, and digitally transformed to create a dynamic visual tapestry. In this realm of virtual reconstruction, the boundaries between reality and illusion blur, inviting viewers to question their perceptions of space and form. As the film unfolds, each frame becomes a canvas for exploration, offering glimpses into alternative compositions and perspectives. Guided by an intuitive sense of aesthetic balance, Hannon selects and recreates these intriguing compositions, capturing fleeting moments of visual intrigue frozen in time. His works currently are based on frames of this film he created from a series of still photographs of the local area of Northumberland. Objects and areas he refers to as 'memes' places and objects etched into his mind as he recalls journeys around the area. https://youtu.be/GW04ho_ayls?si=wiAUyHFqxR5Djnf9
