Elongated Triangles 6 (1971), by British Op-Artist Bridget Riley, was released as an edition of 75 signed screen prints. Evoking the design of a backgammon board, the print depicts a vertically stretched zigzag, creating the unsettling illusion of parallel stripes.
With each print in the series being increasingly experimental, Elongated Triangles 6 represents the zenith, as the solid white of each resultant triangle is now black, emphasising the electric, fluorescent hues selected for the alternating sides. Alongside the rest of the Elongated Triangles series, this print is derived from a pioneering approach to making art that is wholly calculated and mathematical, as a means of revealing the sublime aspects of art, achieved by precise sequencing and the honing of repetitions. Composed of three colours that darken in hues at alternating points, the colour combinations create a dazzling effect for each viewer. As the composition of each print in the series remains largely constant, except for a variation in the number of iterations across the prints' widths, colour is the main variation. The Elongated Triangle series undoubtedly sees the abstract artist at her most confident with colour.
