Meaning & Analysis
Elongated Triangles 5 (1971), by British Op-Artist Bridget Riley, was released as an edition of 75 signed screen prints. Evoking the design of a backgammon board, the print depicts a vertically stretched zigzag, creating the unsettling illusion of parallel stripes.
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.
