Meaning & Analysis
This signed screen print was released in 2005 in an edition of 75. Between The Two features Riley’s innovative, sweeping forms, which evolved out of her iconic Stripes prints. Despite being composed with a seemingly random sequence of shapes and colours, once one’s eyes focus on the vibrant print, diagonal lines appear at regular intervals: evidence that Between The Two, and the other prints included in the series, are formulaic and the result of meticulous preparatory sketching. The final version of Riley’s prints are executed by assistant, and have been ever since Riley began screen printing in the 1960s. On this, Riley claims: “I wanted the actual content of the paintings to come through unchecked by any kind of touch, so that you could see the strength or weakness of something without any barrier.”
Riley’s enduring attention to the inner dynamic of a painting, coupled with her engagement with abstraction, has led to Riley’s works frequently being described in relation to music. Between The Two, like the other works comprising the Lozenges series, is abundant with rhythm and a sense of movement as the serpentine shapes sway across the canvas.
