Meaning & Analysis

Elongated Triangles 5 is composed of three colours that darken in hues at alternating points. Alongside the rest of the Elongated Triangles series, this print is derived from a pioneering approach to making art that is wholly calculated and mathematical, as a means of revealing the sublime aspects of art, achieved by precise sequencing and the honing of repetitions. Composed of three colours that darken in hues at alternating points, the colour combinations create a dazzling effect for each 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.
