Magenta And Yellow is one of three prints constituting Bridget Riley’s Magenta series, executed in 2002, in which Riley explores the visual effects of combining magenta with one other colour: blue, yellow or green. The forms Magenta And Yellow are composed of are undoubtedly the work of Riley: parallelograms transformed with snaking lines that slot together like puzzle pieces.
Appearing random at first glance, there is undoubtedly an underlying structure to Riley’s compositions, her approach to constructing them both thoughtful and methodical. In this series, Riley neglects her quintessential compositions of vertical lines in favour of more fluid, swaying arabesques, enabling larger planes of colour to fill the two-dimensional surface. Riley’s art continues to exert a major influence on subsequent generations of artists, her influence reaching far beyond the realm of painting.
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.
