Wall Painting 1, later named Arcadia 1, was first painted directly onto the walls of Galerie Max Hetzler in Berlin. In this painting, the lozenges push outside the concentric rectangular frame of the print, emphasising the sense of movement and dynamism contained within as they jostle and strain to escape. The figure and ground distinction appears more fractured here amidst segments of white. Moreover, painting directly onto the wall in the original, Riley dissolves the distinction of figure, ground and support, thus activating the picture plane in an innovative way, entirely different to her works on canvas.
Riley’s series of wall painting was initiated in 2007 with Wall Painting 1, thus the print holds a significant place in the artist’s oeuvre. This work is animated by the sum effect of the interaction between form and colour.
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.
