Meaning & Analysis

Untitled (bronze), much like Untitled (blue), features Riley's Waves motif. Lines ripple vertically down the canvas in hues that change at alternating lengths. Despite using just three colours, they merge and bounce off each other, creating a rainbow of varying hues. Each colour choice persists for one and a half wave lengths before merging into a new colour at a peak of trough of the wave. Whilst viewing Untitled (bronze) from a distance, the different shades are perfectly separate and recognisable. Yet, from a distance, they overlap and fuse together.

The colours in the composition are intended to be considered as pairs, in cooler or warmer clusters arranged in certain areas of the canvas. Riley used warm hues to evoke a summery, warm feel. Mixed colours were chosen rather than pure ones in order to maximise the interaction between the lines and tones in the eye of the viewer.

  • 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.
