Meaning & Analysis

Riley’s carefully planned structure in Leap ensures that the figure/ ground relationship between the colours remains ambiguous. The segmented colours overlap in such a way that it is possible to read both colours alternately as figure and ground. Additionally, the shapes recall the outlines of leaves or petals. Despite being non-representational, Riley has previously expressed her great love for nature and the influence this exerts over her artistic production. Hence, the artist’s forms suggest shapes and rhythms found in the natural world.

  • 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.
