Meaning & Analysis
Frieze is a 2000 screen print by British Op-Artist Bridget Riley, released in a signed edition of 200. Sharing its name with the architectural feature— a decorative band around the top of an interior wall—combines curved shapes in a palette of blue, green, yellow, and white.
In her series Lozenges, Riley utilises curved shapes to create a sense of energy and movement in her work, by building up complex layers of vertical and diagonal planes. Overall, Riley’s oeuvre is a complex, in-depth study of colour and form, and the effects produced when the two are interwoven: the joys and dynamism created by their co-mingling.
The intention underpinning Riley’s artistic career is her unwavering interest in the subject of visual perception. In other ways, Riley is keen to question the ways in which we think about or understanding something, using our sense of vision. The resulting visual complexity of Riley’s works is achieved through many hours of planning and studio research.
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.
