Meaning & Analysis

Entirely non-representational, Riley experiments with simple, structural units in her works, in varying configurations, to explore the physical and psychological responses of the eyes. Now 91, having worked for over six decades, Riley’s motive has remained the same: to interrogate what and how we see things. Creating visually disruptive black and white paintings, Riley actively engages the viewer’s perception.

  • Bridget Riley, a leading figure in the British Op-Art movement, has captivated audiences with her abstract paintings and prints that challenge visual perception. Born in London, 1931, Riley’s artistic journey evolved from semi-Impressionist beginnings to geometric mastery, significantly influencing modern art. Her groundbreaking artworks, from Movement In Squares to the vibrant Stripes series, explore optical phenomena and colour dynamics, creating mesmerising, dizzying effects. With a prolific career spanning over seven decades, Riley’s innovative designs and perceptual disruptions continue to shape contemporary British art, solidifying her enduring influence in the realm of abstract and modern art.
