Meaning & Analysis

Seemingly simple, these forms elicit the viewer’s regard in order to question the mode of spectatorship required of art. An embodiment of Riley’s artistic philosophy, this optically striking print places construction and deconstruction side-by-side, exhibiting the confidence of their creator who has continued to produce ground-breaking work well into their nineties. ‘No mere bagatelle’, this print presents a playful irony referenced by both its artistic form and title, harking back to the provocative and counter-cultural milieu which first launched Riley’s hugely successful career in the 1960s. A nod to the illusionist sensibilities of that period, it re-establishes Riley as one of the leading proponents of Op Art, alongside Victor Varseley and Richard Anusckiewicz.

  • 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.
