Fragment 7 is a 1965 screen print by Bridget Riley, released in a signed edition of 75. Black dots on a white ground create the optical illusion that the print disappears into a concave, horizontal fold—Riley radically and abstractly reinvents the linear perspective of traditional landscape paintings.
In her early works, including the Fragment series, Riley endeavoured to recreate the wonder of seeing, without resorting to using representational imagery. Riley’s geometric patterns enable an exploration into the physiological and psychological responses of the eye.
Surprising and confounding the art world with her vivid paintings for seventy years, since Riley sprang to fame in the 60s, the artist has continued to explore the effects of form, shape and colour on the viewer.
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.
