Meaning & Analysis
Two Blues (2003), a screen print by Bridget Riley, was released in a signed edition of 250. As the title alludes, this iteration from Riley’s Lozenges series sees her undulating, organic shapes coloured in two blue shades, as well as interspersed with white, which draws out the contrast between hues.
As the title alludes, this print is composed of two hues of blue, interspersed with segments of white, which highlight the lighter of the two tones. After the great success of Riley’s Stripes series of works, she sought new challenges. The result of her subsequent investigations was the creation of a lively, dynamic new form: a patch of colour, similar in shape to a brush mark, free from any associations with the square, stripe or other conventional, geometric forms. This shape, continuously refined and developed over the years, created an opportunity for a unique melding of form and colour.
Riley utilises the curvaceous shape 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.
