Vasarely pioneered Op Art with geometric compositions featuring repeated circular and disc forms that create optical vibration and perceptual illusion, directly paralleling Riley's precision driven approach in Closed Discs. His systematic use of acrylic color and shape to manipulate visual perception places him as the closest stylistic counterpart to this specific work.

Anuszkiewicz created tightly controlled geometric abstract paintings using repeating shapes and carefully calibrated color relationships to produce optical afterimages and visual movement, qualities central to Riley's Closed Discs. His precise acrylic on canvas works share the same optical investigation and minimalist geometric vocabulary seen in this piece.

Kelly's hard edge abstract paintings feature precise geometric forms with monochromatic or limited color fields rendered in acrylic on canvas, echoing the clean precision and minimalist optical tension found in Closed Discs. His disciplined reduction of form and interest in perceptual color contrast closely aligns with the aesthetic principles Riley employs in this work.
