Meaning & Analysis

Riley credits Movement In Squares, which this print is based on, as the beginning of her career-long exploration into geometric form, spatial dynamics and Movement. Its rhythm evokes the meeting of two forms, such as in a kiss or embrace. The two flat planes appear to vanish upon a line of implied contact, created by alternating black and white squares reducing in width as they converge.

Generating a sensation of restless movement, Untitled (Movement In Squares) led to Riley being lauded as an ‘Op Art’ pioneer. ‘Op Art’ takes its name from the optically distorting and dizzying effects the artworks have on the viewer, much like optical illusions. This breakthrough work, created with a staggeringly simple technique, is an attempt on behalf of the artist to recreate the wonder of seeing, without resorting to using representational imagery.

  • 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.
