Meaning & Analysis

Bagatelle 2 is typical of Riley’s work, which explores the dynamic potentialities of optical phenomena. Less dizzying than other prints, Bagatelle 2 still succeeds in disorientating the viewer, as the two-dimensional, triangular shapes appear in motion on the canvas. Riley’s compositions are the result of meticulous measurements and preparatory sketches, which are then given to her assistants who paint the artworks under Riley’s strict instruction. Riley relies heavily on these preparation stages, particularly drawing, recognising it as “an exercise in looking”. The intense, controlled precision of Riley’s art and its formal logic seem to allow for a wild, synaesthetic freedom.

  • 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.
